Never turn down sex in your high school and college years, no matter how ugly the girl seems at the time you’ll always wonder and regret not fricking her when your older.

Also sage advice from the bogies bathroom wall circa 2003

“No matter how hot she is, someone, somewhere is sick of her shite”

Similar to one I told my kids recently when they moved out on their own in crappy first apartments. "It is ok to struggle. It is not ok to suffer."

The other one is "It's ok to be frugal, it's not ok to be cheap", meaning to deny yourself can be good, but don't deny others what they earned/deserve.

Not sure it qualifies as wisdom, but I am old enough to be an elder,

Why use a backhoe when a shovel will do?

When getting married, look at her mom. That is your future.

More than once my dad would tell me,"Boy, you're just shovelling shite in the sea."

It wasn't what he said but what he did. My uncle was 80 years old and I was helping him clear trees from an ice storm. He tripped on a root and face planted hard. He popped up like a spring and didn't say a word as he continued to work with a busted face.

It doesn't mean that much to me, to mean that much to you.

I've adapted a pearl of wisdom from "A Bronx Tale" ...

Loan a man $20. If he repays you he can be trusted. If he doesn't, you cut him out of your life for $20.

quote:

We were in Dallas back in the 80’s at the furniture market. We were trying tail hail a cab. Cab stopped and my grandfather opened the door for my grandmother. Guy pushes her out of the way to climb in the cab. My grandfather grabbed the guy, drug him out the cab and beat his arse on the sidewalk. We all got in to go to dinner. He looked at me (12 years old at the time). He said son never let another man put his hands on your wife and get away with it). Stuck with me to this day


That is awesome! Love stories like that.

Years ago before a football game my Dad and I were in Winn Dixie buying beer for the game.

We saw this small, skinny old man with navy tattoos on his forearms that had to be in his 90s .

He was carrying two 24 packs of beer and struggling.

My Dad and I told him to let us carry it to the register for him and he said

“Thank you boys but no, if I can’t carry them, I don’t deserve to drink them.”

Then looked at me and asked if I knew where the condoms were as he laughed and winked at my dad.

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And,
Most of the time, you get exactly what you paid for.
