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.

"Eat your crusts and your hair will go curly."

I was told
Eat your crusts or your hair will go curly. Hence I always ate the crusts and have had damnably straight hair all my life.

they've been toying with us!
I ate my crusts and only the front of my hair is curly, and really it's more wavy/frizzy than curly.

I ate all my crusts
and I do have curly hair. My daughter also eats her crusts and has poker straight hair. Her sister, who trims off the crusts, has a mass of curls.

Meh

I don't think I believe that one

Well I think
we can tell K2k6 where to go with his earlier "science" theory.

Looks like his Gran was right after all.

Remember folks, always believe the old people.

aw, thanks. Is that because I wasn't making my profile-picture angry retard face?

The QOTW girls are hot.
The fellas needed so much photoshopping before I put those pictures up.

Don't worry girls..
When I meet you all I'll definitely be the oldest one there : (

@BGB
age is a number - the person you are is more important. By next April, I'll be on the other side of 40 as well.

And remember
you're only as old as the person you're feeling.

@Weewitch
Age may be a number but my face doesn't fit my mind anymore. Your less inclined to be silly when you look like your mum.

@Al
That's worse, that would mean I feel 45.

Oh sorry
just ignore my advice then, it's clearly rubbish.

Al
Nah, I just thought you'd be younger than you appear. I think everyone on here is at least a little immature at times.

If you made it rotting whale meat I would feel a whole lot better. And Bert would pole dance for us too.

PFFFFT IN URE FACE!
sorry. stopped that nonsense now.
(, Sat 21 Jun 2008, 23:57, closed)
I don't know why that would be an incentive
I mean, presumably the old person is trying to get a child to eat crusts.

But why would curly hair be necessarily desirable? Surely it's all down to personal preference.

For me, I like straight hair. Curly hair is a turn-off.
