Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, 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.

Teaching your son how to fight.My Dad was obviously a master of scrapping - after I got panelled at school his advice was:
1. A good pair of running shoes is better than a good left hook.
2. No one wins in a fight. If you hit him 20 times and he hits you once it still fucking hurts.
3. Our family are too handsome to fight. Leave that to the Uglies.
4. Never start a fight and do everything you can to prevent one happening. If it ends up being the only option and you know that you have done everything in your power to prevent it; pick up the sharpest or heaviest item you can and batter the fucker.
5 Always kick a man when he is down because you probably won't have the balls to hit him if he gets back up.
My Dad was ace.

In that same regard...My mother gave me the following advice:
If a girl comes after you, punch her in the boob, then run.

Number 5was a harsh lesson I had to learn for myself at school.
I gave a bully the best right hook of my entire life, he fell down, I felt all proud and thought that was it.
He got back up and kicked the crap out of me.
Duh.

Your Dad is a wise man2 and 4, especially, deserve to be put down on a stone tablet somewhere.
I asked my dad once to show me how to throw a decent punch and he told me "Throwing one decent punch isn't enough. You have to know how to throw three or four decent punches in a row."
So I think a hefty punt in the gobblewhompers is probably a better bet.
