This is a question Advice from Old People

Sometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.

Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.

Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

My Uncle Alan
he told me this when i was 15 - it maybe or maynot be 100% his although i have not heard it elsewhere.

"If you can put your tongue in and wiggle it, its fine. If you can put both hands in and clap - put your coat on and go home"

I was a bit bemused for a few years, then it all sank into place.

Similarly
if you can yodel down the canyon, good for you. If you're actually standing in it whilst yodelling, find a different canyon.
