    Here's a few more:

    If it has an Adams Apple it’s probably a man...if you're still not sure, a man's ring finger is longer than his index finger...women are the exact opposite.

    A woman doesn't accidently get good in bed.

    If you say "I do..." make sure you’re the ugly one.

    Never fry bacon in the nude...

    Never spray water on a hornets’ nest...unless you can run really fast.

    Never threaten anyone wearing camouflage.

    If you've been married nine times...it's probably *you*

    Kitrax, you could have just posted the entire song....

    100 Things Every Man Needs To Know To Survive
    written by Tim Wilson

    I had a crazy uncle that was on his deathbed a long time ago, he said
    "Boy, there's a hundred thing in life that every man needs to know to
    survive,
    and here's thirty-nine of 'em:

    A virgin don't never drive a Z-28.
    Never bet the ranch on your prostate.
    If it's got an Adam's Apple it's probably a man.
    Never trust a gay Gypsy with the palm of your hand.
    She didn't accidentally get good in bed.
    You can't join the church if you're already dead.
    A work uniform ain't totally nude.
    Brim and bass ain't seafood.
    When there's guns in the house one better be yours.
    Don't be naked next to any fishin' lures.
    If a girl's got cookies she's a little too young.
    If you say "I do", be the ugly one.
    Don't ever let a bald man borrow your comb.
    Never play strip poker in a nursing home.
    Don't blame your pall bearers if they don't show,
    If you're buried in the middle of the Super Bowl.
    Let people borrow money, they'll leave you alone.
    Never fry bacon without a shirt on.
    Never spray water on a hornet's nest.
    A woman rarely aces the driver's test.
    The sign probably don't really mean "massage".
    Never threaten anybody in camouflage.
    Say you love her till she lays down the butcher knife.
    Never put your moves on the bosses wife.
    She's messin' round on you if your briefs don't fit.
    Never trust a hitchhiker to baby-sit.
    Cosmo's never in a happy home.
    You can't cut a deal with a kidney stone.
    A politician ain't got an HMO.
    "Washin' her hair" mean she don't want to go.
    Don't ridicule a biker 'bout his tattoo.
    You've been married nine times, Hell maybe it's you.
    Doom ain't the same as Donkey Kong.
    If he's wearin' high heels you might have raised him wrong.
    The clinic ain't the best place to pick up dates.
    Don't rent a room from a man named Bates.
    A tank top's never on a billionaire.
    Stevie Ray Vaughn missed a note here and there.
    How many get to Heaven no one knows,
    But Hell will be asses and elbows.

    And then he died,, crazy fool rolled over and died.
    and never did tell me what those other 61 things were.
    So if anyone knows, please let me know.

    That one's kinda funny, Silvery, because it is in direct contravention to what my mother always told me:

    "Children should be seen and not heard"

    which was often followed by a piece of advice that was more of a warning, really:

    "Knock it off or I'll smack you so hard you won't wake up for a month of Sundays!" Which is rather poetic when you think about it.

    Nice one, Rotku.

    My advice is not to waste your life posting on internet message boards expecting to get useful advice on how to make best use of your life.

    My advice is to always see the glass as half full, not half empty. Take some advice from Monty Python:

    Life wise:
    Don't postpone stuff - it tends to pile up.
    Truth always simplifies matters.
    Everything is better with ice cream. :p

    Test wise:
    When in doubt, the first answer that crosses your mind is likely the correct one.

    Good advice HB ... Fortunately I wasn't looking for GOOD advice. I just thought the topic would be entertaining :D. Not that I don't appreciate good advice when I see it ;).

    Sorry, Harbourboy, this I can't resist.

    So speaks the guy who joined one month before me and has close to 3 times as many posts. :lol: Guess you just posted for fun or you have a very boring job.

    As a chronic procrastinator my advice is: Don't do today what you can put off until tomorrow.

    Oooh, how did martaug get the Idiot of the Week plaque?

    I can't believe I've never got that. Must. Try. Harder.
