If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. If you find yourself in a hole the first thing to do is stop diggin'. Never smack a man who's chewin' tobacco. It doesn't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut.
Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Always drink upstream from the herd. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person don't be suprised if they learn their lesson. When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier 'n puttin' it back. Always take a good look at what you're about to eat.
