Don't shit on your own doorstep
Or on anyone else’s doorstep for that matter. In fact, you’re better off only defecating in a toilet really.

Worry
90% of what you worry about NEVER HAPPENS.

Get on with life and stop wasting your time on worrying.

Worry about it when it happens.

shortly after
being caught shagging my girlfriend by my father at the age of sixteen, a huge argument ensued and I stormed over to my grandparent's house.

My grandfather, ever a rational and caring man, gave me these words of advice:

"Now boy, you can do it all you like, but always remember it's the second hole from the back of the neck."

I used to worry about things....
Things like what people thought about me, whether I might finish a world-shatteringly important paper on time, whether I might get that job, whether talking to that gorgeous girl in the short-shorts in gym class would end badly... Things like that. One day, my dad sat me down, looked me in the eye, and said..

"If you worry, you're going to die. If you don't worry, you're STILL going to die. So why worry?"

He died in my arms at 4:00am of the next day. Dying breath, he closed his eyes, said, "You're still going to die." I've followed the advice like a mantra for most of my life.

First legitimate post, I think?

Badger's advice on tattoos.
If you want a permanent mark on your body that will guarantee that people notice you, set fire to yourself.

It's MUCH cheaper and the results are truly eye-opening.

Dennis Rodman has sensible advice regarding tattoos

When I was 16 I heard Dennis Rodman (think: tatted up weirdo who will do anything for attention) give an interview. He was asked what he'd say to "young people" who are thinking of getting tattoos.

"I would say that they should plan exactly what they want, and exactly where on their body that they want it. Then wait exactly one year. If you still want it, then go get it."

So simple, I don't know why no one else has seemed to think of it!

Advice from my Grandmother - then 76
On seeing my new waterbed for the first time and having a bit of a lie down on it.

"This would be no good for sex"

she was right

On discussion on moving in with girl friend who was not very good for me but, had me blinded to her boganish, selfish ways with the occasional blow job and monkey sex.

"Why buy a bad book when there is a library full of good books you can borrow and use for little while? If you treat them well it makes it easier to borrow more in the future"

Again she was right, women talk amongst themselves and if you are nice to them and generous in your love making, word gets around....

Thanks Nana, I have you to thank for

a) Getting a bed that was good for sex
b) Borrowing a reasonable number of women to use it for the aforementioned with.

She is 92 now, and her mind is still razor sharp but, the body is slowing down a bit. Might see what she has to say about getting away with clandestine affairs with nubile 20 somethings.

If anyone needs advice from my Nana, let me know and I will check with her.
