RULES
"FOURTEEN THINGS THAT IT TOOK OVER 40 YEARS TO LEARN."

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.

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 11.

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 the waiter is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

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

1. Bet
there's a funny story behind this one:

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

:)

3. The most important one
"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."

Oh so true. I've put both feet in my mouth more times than I care to remember doing that. x(

Those are all good, thanks Booberdawg. :D

4. I’ve never done that, but have done the opposite
when a heavy set gal came back from leave after having a baby, I said I didn’t even realize you were pregnant. Oops!

5. If you buy lock de-icer for your car...

...don't leave it in the glove compartment. (Think about it!)
