    1. Believe nothing that you read and half of what you see.

    2. NOTHING is free

    3. Men have fun and women can't stand it.

    1. Never carry a credit card balance unless you have completely run out of options.

    2. Don't do anything just because all of your peers seem to be doing it. Personal examples: getting married in your 20s, buying zero-down real estate in 2003-06 with the intent to flip, investing in tech stocks with a 50x earnings multiple.

    3. When travelling abroad (or in Vegas), that woman who's totally into you is almost certainly a hooker.

    But didn't Jim mess around with "Slim" resulting in the only part of jim not being bloody was the soles of the big mans feet?:eek:

    1. Don't jerk with the tax man. If they can get Al Capone they can get you
    2. When in doubt, your beer is the fullest one
    3. The one sure way to never be called a hypocrite is to not lie

    Along these lines...

    1. Always make your money going in. Almost had to learn that one the hard way.

    1. Learn to live with what you can't rise above
    2. Stay active
    3. Fix your life before you tell someone else how to fix theirs.
    4. The grass is always greener where the dog s$@^s.

    Never cough when you're hiding

    Never smile when you're lying

    Your word is your bond, but get it in writing from everyone else

    Fish is brain food, but pork is soul food

    Protect your heart by eating less fat and avoiding women with more than three tattoos
