Know how to behave at a buffet. Take a clean plate for a second helping.
Capital punishment is the source of many an argument, both good and bad.
Know how to drive safely when it's raining or when it's snowing. The two conditions are different.
Be able to sneeze without sounding ridiculous. That means neither stifling yourself or spraying your immediate vicinity.
Know about the appeals process, especially in the case of the most serious crimes.
Be able to identify the most common breeds of dogs and cats on sight.

Be able to analyze statistics, which can be used to support or undercut almost any argument.
Be sure to expose yourself to criticism: A fine polish requires an abrasive.
Be able to recognize the dangerous snakes, spiders, insects, and plants that live in your area of the country.
