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.

If it's brown you're fine, if it's black you're buggered.
Compliments of my now deceased Great Gran
this culinary mantra has yet to fail me.

This rhymes! Got this from a chemical plant supervisor,
"If it's brown it's cooked, if it's black it's fooked" (he was from Yorkshire).

Be accurate when cooking toast,
Never try to guess.
Cook it till it smokes,
then twenty seconds less.
