As many flings as Bill Clinton has partaken in ("Honk if you HAVEN'T slept with Clinton"), it's little wonder that he might claim whamnesia about at least a few of them.

As much misery as adolescents often suffer with acne, it's little wonder than so many of them exhibit such irrashional behavior a lot of the time.

Where you bring an older lady along with you on a potentially-problematic endeavor, so that any observers will feel less concerned/suspicious.distrustful of you and what you are wanting to accomplish. P.S.: This strategy **always** works --- no exceptions.
I first discovered the grandmother approach --- and how wonderfully effective it is for "opening doors" --- merely by accident at age 15, when Mother and I went to meet one of my favorite radio-announcers "after hours" ; the announcer had kindly agreed to come down the elevator and meet me outside during her break, and so my mother and I had gone to wait outside the front doors of the building. A burly security-guard or maintenance-man subsequently happened by and pleasantly asked if he could help us; we explained that we were waiting for my announcer-friend to come and say hello to us. Without hesitation, he said, "Well, there's no need for you to have to wait outdoors here; I can let you in and you can go up to the studio to wait." I am sure, however, that if I had just been there by myself, the employee would not have felt nearly so confident or trusting of me that he would have actually just allowed me to effortlessly "waltz right in" like that; I realized that it was my super-respectable-looking mother's presence that had caused the man to "automatically" figure that "we were okay". I have employed this "bringing an older lady along" strategy several times in subsequent years whenever I have been concerned about possible negativity/suspicion from others regading something I'd wanted to do, and it has ALWAYS succeeded --- people everywhere feel an automatic compulsion to respect an older lady, plus of course they would not want to behave disagreeably in front of her.

People who show up naked at your house and offer their luscious warm softness as a "present" for you to savor and enjoy.
Many humans happily welcome visitors baring gifts; extra points if said arrivals also bring tasty culinary treats to fill their host's tummies, as well. I once saw a hilarious two-column essay about "how to please a woman vs. how to please a man"; the first column was a very lengthy list of things for the guy to do for the lady, such as buying her flowers and sweets, opening doors for her, complimenting her on her choices of clothing and praising her looks, etc. But for the other column, it merely listed two very brief items that a lady has to do to make a guy feel special and satisfied: "Show up naked" and "Bring food". :P

Accessories of heavy-duty build or capability.
If you use oversize roofing-spikes or other materials-securing "powerfulnalia" in a carpentry job, you'll need "powerfulnialia" --- i.e., a larger and more-robust pneumatic fastener-gun --- to drive said large-caliber brads.

Not listening to important things that you should be hearing in order for you to maintain a non-damaging-to-yourself-and/or-others status.
Ethan Couch's father foolishly close to just arbitrarily cater to his spoiled-rotten son's whiny blubbering instead of listening to reason when it came to following the local school's guidelines; he was so earresponsible, in fact, that he actually offered to buy the entire school just so that its officials would then have to treat his "little prince" in the preferentially-coddling fashion that he desired, rather than just being given the same ordinary respect and expectations that all of his fellow students were being issued.
