Sometimes you don't have to win the argument to get what you want!

Tirsales! Welcome Back!

Always treat each other better than you would treat a stranger.

(From Uncle Clyde and Aunt Donna on our wedding day. 20 years later, it's still good advice. In other words, think about how you act, and would you act that way in front of a stranger?)

When in an argument with your wife you discover that you are clearly correct, apologize at once.

For Men: You can't make love to every woman in the world.

But you must try.

Don't walk around spouting off mindless words of wisdom. Instead, wisdom comes from questioning. So spend your days thoughtfully pondering the deepest questions of the universe like "What's the difference between a duck?"

(This has been a spouting of mindless words of wisdom from yours truly. Please return to your own senselessness and stay the heck out of mine.)

Its all a word for "dad"? Or its all a revolution against the system, like the modern meaning of singing "Che, Che, Che Guevara"?

Oh well, everything's changing.

(There, did you read it? No? Missed it? Damned. I will repeat it one more time: Everything is changing. A pearl of wisdom! A shiny (or was this tiny?) pearl!)

Age and wisdom do not always go hand in hand.

Practice caution with curiosity. But never fear the unknown.

Stealing from me is hazardous to ones life.

Ah, yes, my young Mr. Dylrob, but aged wisdom do....erm, does go hand in hand.....erm, go in one's hand. And, therefore, fear not one's own lack of elderliness when paired with lack of wisdom - for even in great ignorance lies a giant pearl ready to be spewed forth when the time cometh forth. Capiche?

Okay, I think you're right.

Or........my (insert name of appendage here) grew SIX whole inches using (insert name of product here)"

but I'm still buyin' a NuWave oven because it will cook my frozen turkey to a delicious golden brown finish in only 2 1/2 hrs.........go figure.

Age and treachery will always win over youth and enthusiasm.

Always cut the cards.

Where's my damned flying car?
