When dealin' with a slick son of a bitch, start off by pinnin' him down and changin' his oil. Never ask a barber if he thinks you need a haircut. Never follow good whiskey with water, unless you're out of good whiskey. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. Don't worry about bitin' off more than you can chew.
Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement.
Always drink upstream from the herd. Never drop your gun to hug a grizzly. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be suprised if they learn their lesson. The best way to have a quiche for dinner is to make it up and put it in the oven to bake at 325 degrees.
