Things I am Not Allowed to Do

1. Take up spoon bending. Even if I wouldn't miss the teaspoons.

(There's a trick to it -- you weaken the spoon beforehand, so that it snaps very quickly. Thus, you look like you broke it with The Power of Your Mind. I ought to try that the next time I teach and see if my students figure out the trick or if they think I'm a telekinetic.)
