Never trust a left handed woman. She'll only ever take you by surprise.

Never drink your own p*ss. The money that you'll win just aint worth it.
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

Sorry, Marv. Gotta disagree...not with your facts, but with your conclusion. :twisted:

edit: I see you've added a second bit of advice while I was composing. Just so we are clear, my response is about the first bit!

Gotcha!

Ok, what about this piece of advice; never forget where you set a bear trap, especially if you're drunk and wearing sandals.

As a card carrying member of the ladies of the left, I agree, I cannot be trusted. Especially we left handed Gemini's. :wink:

If you loan someone $20 and never see them again, it's probably for the best.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Don't peel bananas from the stem end. Peeling them from the other end is easier and gets rid of all the stringy white flavorless stuff.

Yes. It also prevents the bruising that can sometimes happen when peeling at the stem end.
