Well, I want my guy to look under a rug and find a ruler. But of course, I don't want him to say, "oh look a ruler" every time he looks under the rug. One problem, I'm a total moron :P.

Well, big words scare us too. If you really want help, it's always okay to ask, but please don't yell in CAPS. It's a bit impolite. :P
To use the DoOnce() function, you just think of a text string you like which relates to the action you want.
In your case, you can do something like this in the 'look at rug' action:
if (Game.DoOnceOnly("found ruler")) Display("Oh look! A ruler!");
else Display("I have looked under the rug before.");
In this way, when you looked under the rug for the first time the first Display() line is used, whereas when you looked under the rug for the second, third, ... times the Display() line in the 'else' part is used.
thanks for your help ;D. However, I love caps. I just can't change. SORRY! :P
