185a: Ignore 185 if the pet in question is also the speaking object...

186: Use weird speaking objects. Like handcuffs, dogs (medium or big - Golden retriever and larger) or pets that are hard to catch, especially when slightly drunk.

186a: Don't give your players keys to handcuffs...

186b. Especially when they're the ones in the hadcuffs...

Wait, what? Did I say that out loud?

182a. Don't just make them do your laundry, make them go on a quest to retrieve the +3 washboard of cleanliness and then make them do your laundry.

You never used handcuffs as speaking objects? DM doesn't need to use speaking objects...

187. When your players get out of line use thrown weapons. D4 has the sharpest edges...

187a. Have your players know that you sharpened your stone made d4s...

188. Never be afraid to throw the book at somebody. There are people that can fix them at reasonable prices. If you do this often you might have a discount...
