Never let the navigator drive!

1. Never eat anything bigger than your head.
2. Never sleep with anyone more crazy than yourself.
3. Never be caught sleeping with small girls or boys.

Don't fish off the company pier.

Don't make waves unless they are big enough to drown some one.

You can do fat and ugly, just not at the same time.

If she is lower than your standards, then lower your standards.

good from afar, but far from good.

Beauty is in the flick of a light switch.

Aim to be the designated drunk rather than the designated driver.

If you have to carry a short roll of Lino thru the streets of Bagdad, don't carry it on your shoulder.

Advice received from my best man, 1 day before wedding - how I wish I had listened.

"You dont want to get married mate. Just find a woman you dont like and buy her a house. Much cheaper."

Never write your name in your hat. You never know where you might leave it.

Best advice...IF

...If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools;
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools...

Rudyard Kipling

There's more...and someone had to say it!

Anyone can lead a horse to water but if you can get it to float on it's back you've really got something.

Horses and water

Mads Dad....

You can draw a horse to water, but a pencil must be lead....

Apologies to Laurel and Hardy if I misquoted!
