I read this yesterday. The difference between complete and finished. Although dictionary definition are the same, what I read summed it up perfectly.

(Paraphrased)
When you marry the woman of your dreams, you are complete. When you find out she's the woman from hell, your finished. And when your wife from hell catches you with the woman of your dreams you're completely finished.

Don't eat yellow snow.

Never pick your noise on a bumpy dirt road.

Never spit into the wind

I'd rather my own son see me die on my feet as a free man, than watch him go, broken, into slavery.

On picking noses...

You almost always automatically open your mouth while digging nuggets.

Never, EVER, pick your noise while laying on your back. If it falls off your finger, guess where it's going?

It's easier to make a quick nickel then a slow dime.

There was a neighbor, who used this phrase often; when selling vegetables from his garden.

Never ride with a naked cab driver.
Always count your change.

From my late father; 1) Never sleep with someone you would be ashamed to be seen with out in public the next day.... 2) Marry your best friend. You will not regret it!! (BTW... 19 years into my marriage so far and he was right on the money with that one)... and 3) If I wouldn't trust them... YOU shouldn't either!!
God rest his soul. I sure do miss him.

And experience is something you gain about five seconds after you REALLY needed it...

1. Never pay poker with anyone named after a major city.
2. Never eat at a place called Mom's- unless the only other place is named EATS
3. Never share a bed or foxhole with anyone crazier than you are.
4. If it is worth shooting, it is worth shooting twice.
5. If you can be seen, you can be hit.
