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.

"never stand on a swivelly chair to change a lightbulb."
I once stood on a swivelly chair which was resting on a bed when trying to fix a broken extractor-fan.
"Never use paprika where the recipe calls for cinnamon."
Ouch.
"And finally...gentlemen, here's one for you - don't spluff on navy blue velvet."
Bill Clinton could have saved his dignity by not doing that.
