Rice Krispies

1. Purchase some "Rice Krispies" they are widely available and can also be found in variety packs for the kiddies.

2. Find the right size bowl in line with your hunger and fill it up with the cereal. USE CAUTION! CEREAL MAY SPILL OVER WITHOUT YOU NOTICING, YOU THEN MIGHT STEP ON IT, CAUSING YOU TO DRAMATICALLY FALL AND BUNK THE DAY OFF WORK/SCHOOL.

3. Add milk

WARNING: If you've run out of milk, try and borrow some off the fit bird that lives next door. Turn up in your PJ's/dressing gown with your manly chest slightly visible tempting her. If ya get lucky she might cook something for you after you give her some lovin. FAT BLOKES DONT TRY THIS AT HOME. If this cunning plan fails just use water or orange juice.

4. Sprinkle of sugar if thats how ya like it. Make sure you dont get it mixed up with the salt as i did once, cuz it really doesn't go with the orange juice.
