    \n
  1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact, just piss off and leave me alone.<\/li>\n
  2. Sex is like air. It’s not that important unless you aren’t getting any.<\/li>\n
  3. No one is listening until you fart.<\/li>\n
  4. Always remember you’re unique. Just like everyone else.<\/li>\n
  5. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.<\/li>\n
  6. If you think nobody cares whether you’re alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.<\/li>\n
  7. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.<\/li>\n
  8. If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.<\/li>\n
  9. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.<\/li>\n
  10. If you lend someone $100 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it.<\/li>\n
  11. If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.<\/li>\n
  12. Some days you are the dog, some days you are the tree.<\/li>\n
  13. Don’t worry; it only seems kinky the first time.<\/li>\n
  14. Good judgment comes from bad experience and most of that comes from bad judgment.<\/li>\n
  15. A closed mouth gathers no foot.<\/li>\n
  16. There are two excellent theories for arguing with women. Neither one works.<\/li>\n
  17. Generally speaking, you aren’t learning much when your lips are moving.<\/li>\n
  18. Experience is something you don’t get until just after you need it.<\/li>\n
  19. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our arse. Then things just keep getting worse.<\/li>\n
  20. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
