As an airline employee, (who also overbooks flights), my advice to avoid being bumped is
a) Book early, before the plane starts to get full.
b) Get a seat assignment in advance.
c) Check in at least an hour and a half before your flight so they don't give away your seat while the airport screeners are x-raying your shoes.
Actually, some households (like mine) signed up multiple numbers. The majority of telemarketing calls were coming to my home on the line I had set up on my computer/fax line, so I signed that one up as well. I ended up disconnecting that line a month later, because a broadband provider finally started up in my town, but that's another story.
Do you know how many times I have browsed through a music store, find something I might possibly like, and thought, "If it didn't cost eighteen dollars, I would buy it." It takes some pretty hefty cash to build up a decent CD collection at the prices music studios charge, and I don't have that kind of money.

You expect a movie to be two hours long. If you can play all the way through a video game in two hours, there really is something wrong with that.

Sort of like confessing your sins to a bartender instead of a priest. You may feel better, but just until the real hammer falls.
