1. Keep your home brick-free.

2. Avoid brickyards and places where they lay brick.

3. Don't go into or near old buildings made of brick. There is too much potential for a loose brick to fall out and hit you in the face.

4. Don't attempt to rob Macaulay Culkin. He'll throw a brick at your face.

5. Don't play any sport if they've replaced the ball with a brick.

6. Don't give children bricks. Any chance they get, and they'll hit you in the face with one.

7. If someone asks if they can hit you in the face with a brick, say no. Any other response guarantees you'll get hit in the face with a brick.

8. Refrain from attending or participating in any annual "Brick Tossing" competitions. That's just asking for it.

Is this similar to the mullet toss? Same participants, perhaps?

Avoid the brick yard? Some of my best friends live there.

One of my students came to class with an ice pack on his face a couple of weeks ago because of the one that was left off the list--he ran into a brick pillar. I'm pretty sure the pillar had the right of way.
