Having grown up...or at least gotten older in Texas, we used to have the "Cowboy Rules" listed all over the place.
Quote:
Rules To Live By.......
Good judgement comes from experience, and alot of that comes from bad judgement.
Don't never whittle towards you, and don't never spit against the wind.
There's 2 theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works.
Letting the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin it back in.
If your riding ahead of the herd, look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
If ya get to thinkin your a person of some influence, try ordering another fellar's dog around.
Be cautious in choosin a mate. Don't settle for one who can't open the gate.
A mountain lion felt soooo good after eatin' a whole bull he started roarin'. He kept it up till a hunter happened along and shot him. MORAL: When your full of bull, keep yer mouth shut.
Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
Don't squat with yer spurs on.
Never slap a man that's chewin' tobacco.
If'n you find yerself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep.
Always drink up-stream from the herd.
The quickest way to double yer money is to fold it over and put it back in yer pocket.
There are 3 kinds of cowboys.......
1. the one that learns from readin'
2. the few who learn by observation
3. and the rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.

I have been using this one, "Good judgement comes from experience, and alot of that comes from bad judgement," for most of my life...to various degrees of success.
