Reminds me of a sign I saw in a restaurant: "Unattended children will receive two shots of espresso and a puppy."

Peacocks are evil. Kill any peacocks you see without a moments hesitation. Punch them to death if you have to.

Whenever a girl asks you a question, just reply with some form of compliment and you can't go wrong (even if the question is just 'can you pass the salt?')

Never lose touch with old friends. You never know if one of them is gonna become super rich.

I think it was Eddie Izzard who offered this invaluable piece of advice: Never poke a badger with a spoon.

Attempting to conform against character to the views of others is a recipe for disaster.

Don't post pictures of yourself on the internet.

Don't bother listening to me; everything I say is probably wrong, uninteresting or both.

When going to the movies alone, don't watch anything involving a love story.

Good advice. Of course, that doesn't allow you to watch many films nowadays, sadly .

And now, time for an old proverb...

Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

He that lends his pot must seethe his kail in his loof.

(Translation He who lends his pot must boil his soup in his hand. In other words don't give away things you actually need yourself)

Life is too short to complain that life is too short.

Life is too short to listen to lectures on how you should live it.

Life is too short to even complain about anything.

Life is too short for stupidity from never applying wisdom learned from others.

Life is too long unless you have a handy gun.
