1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings.'

3. There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and 'mental illness.'

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. (I wish I had!)

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 21.

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine . . . They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

I thought it was because we AGE gracefully, like a fine bottle of wine? :confused:

Hey now......I know some people who think Ripple is a FINE wine.

Granted you can find them on E. Colfax and in some of the more "finer" shelters here in Denver. :p

A couple of things I learned in life:

- Don’t pick a fight in a bar with a guy that doesn’t talk too much. :(

- Don’t sneak out of a 4th floor hotel room using bed sheets for a rope. :eek:

4 things I learnt in life.

1. Don't try ridding a motorcycle onto a ship using a plank. :eek:

2. Don't wear male Capris pants in the US of A even if you are working as a fencing coach and even if you do have a European sounding accent. People will still give you shit about how gay you look no mater what you’re explanation is. :D

3. Don't say Hi to the Las Vegas M/C Cop as you lane split past him on your M/C at the lights. "You might be able to lane split in California son, but in case you hadn't noticed you aint in California no more". :munchin

4. Don't try to be friendly with the Las Vegas judge as you try to get out of your ticket for Lane Splitting. He will not be amused. ;)

I don't know,

I think there's lessons in those for all. Especially the M/C and ship with a plank thing.

You never know, perhaps one day someone who has read this will be gunning their engine infront of a ship with a plank running down to the wharf and they'll say to themselves.

"Now hang on I'm sure I've been warned about this at some point...?

Mind you Richards examples sound like a better stories anyways.

I have found that riding a lowered Road King up a short 2x10 into the back of a 4x4 pickup with 6" of lift can be exciting as well.

The water would make for a softer landing, but more serious complications recovering the bike if you dropped it.

Good lesson learned.

Sir,

So true!!!
As I decided to go to the "Trading Post" antique mall today, and discovered first-hand why I do not ever want to get out in a car on Christmas Eve....My Goodness, the insanity!!!:confused::D

A great list!
