Don't.

Here are q few helpful don'ts for a
man who doesn't know anything about
it:
Don't.
Just plain don't.
Don't be reckless-especially in your
lying.
Don't give to the Lord and then go
out and rob a widow.
Dent acquire the borrowing habit,
or the day will come when you will
run out of friends.
Don't marry an indolent man expect
ing him to brace up, or you may have
to take in washing to pay for the
brace.
Don't be so mean-minded that you
can see no good in man. He may
be the first to loan you money in time
of need.
Don't spread butter on both sides of
your bread just because you have SIS in
your pockets. An earthquake may come
along and shake the change out of
them.-Denver News.
