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.

Aye, true enough
Many years ago I was working on an old guy's yacht. He was a gruff old bastard, but obviously wealthy. He offered me some advice, which I gladly accepted.

"Son, if it flies, floats or fucks, rent it!"

I didn't dare ask him if the boat was his or not.

Agreed
Having owned a few boats in the past, this is sound advice.

Dear God. Me in boats. I'm a hazard to shipping.

BOAT is an acronym
Boat - Break Out Another Thousand - true? :)
