Universal advice

[4merper4mer]

Always and never propositions are uncommon...rare even.  Do you have any practical advice for something to always or never do?

 

I have never heard anyone say "I zagged when I should have zigged", so I would say just zag all the time.  Zigging seems to lead to issues.

One universal I try to observe is, never make a decision on something until I absolutely have to.  Gives you more time to collect new info.

 

Drives my wife nuts.

When I left home for college, my uncle told me, "Don't let the little head think for the big head."

Always know when to break the rules.  Especially that one!

NEVER get drunk as a skunk and slide down a railing in the upper deck, until you plunge into the crowd beneath you. 

 

I’m feeling pretty confident about that one.

If it's yellow, let it mellow.

 

Hey... What can I say... It's my opus.?

Don't outsmart your common sense.

[snafu]

Simple:

Be good.

But if you can't be good, don't get caught.

[LeGOATski]

Follow the path of least resistance.

"May all your little ones have big ones"

I dunno, my dad used to say that all the time. Something funny about it.

Dimbulb lost his job , banned from NEF, misdemeanour record I think. Whatever became of the person that a$$wipe fell on?  At the sentencing, I recall reading the fellow fallen upon had back troubles thanks to rumdum.

Don't bother with playing the slots, you have no input in the outcome.

Always split aces and 8’s.

[Happy]

Always split K, Q, J, and 10, then double down.  You're bound to hit on one of them.

Never run with scissors in your hands.

Never stick a fork in a socket.

Never stare directly at the sun.

The rest of life is gravy.

Losing job = good way of paying the aggrieved.  Let them try and get blood out of a turnip. Society is cooking with gas

[Fadingpain]

Good advice for any students among us:

 

When it doubt, look about.

It was funny, one trip to Vegas I was walking to breakfast a little after 8:00 am (while the wife was already at the pool to beat the friggin’ heat!) and I stopped to watch a little blackjack.  There were two ladies together, and a guy sitting next to them. It seemed to me they all did everything the way you should, but while the ladies were generally breaking even, this guy lost about $15k in 15-20 minutes, then stormed off. It hurt ME to see that, but I did enjoy the frozen grapes he financed on a blazing hot day sitting by the marble mosaic in-laid pool. Vegas didn’t build itself!
