Pointless Thinking...

What's your favorite urban myth concerning SmartPoints (or any other type of WW Points)?  

Here are few that have come to my attention over the years; please feel free to add your own via the Comments Box!
  1. If your doctor prescribed it (or if someone in authority says you HAVE TO ingest it), it doesn't have any Points.
  2. If you eat it over a sink, it doesn't have any Points.  (?)
  3. If you eat it in another country, it doesn't have any Points.
  4. If it's broken before you eat it, it doesn't have any Points.  (I guess they leaked out...?)
  5. If no one sees you eat it, it doesn't have any Points.
  6. If you can't pronounce it, it doesn't have any Points.
  7. If it's a special occasion, the accompanying food/drink doesn't have any Points.
  8. Wine starts out as a grape, so it's a fruit and it doesn't have any Points.
  9. Chocolate starts out as a bean, so it's a vegetable/legume.
  10. If your activity monitor is malfunctioning, walking/moving more/exercising isn't good for you. 
Addenda:
  1. If you eat a candy bar (your choice) and wash it down with a diet soda, it doesn't have any Points.
  2. If you eat to keep someone else on the Program from having to eat it, it doesn't have any Points.  (It's called taking one for the team!)
  3. If you thought you were eating the sugar-free version (but find out you weren't), it doesn't have any Points.
  4. If you don't cut into the cake/pie/pizza/etc., isn't it still just one piece?  (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge...)
