DAD'S WISDOM
posted on 2007-01-01

• Don't go to a funeral unless you care to give comfort to any of those attending as there is nothing more you can do for the departed.



• Good manners don't mean knowing to put a napkin in your lap; they mean being considerate.



• You have the comfort of opinion, without the discomfort of thought.



• In Poker as in life, when you have a good hand, the chances are someone else has one better.



• Use me!



• Long "hellos" and short "good-byes".
  Part of a man's attraction is his childlike quality.



• If you must point, point upwards.



• In the long run the most expensive suit on the rack will end up being the cheapest.



• Why can't more women be like Irene Dunne?



• Never feel sorry because you have to pay capital gains tax.



• On vacation, take photos of people and buy the scenery post cards which are taken by professionals with better equipment than yours.



• When travelling, make sure you have your money, your tickets, and your passport. You can always buy whatever else you forgot when you get there.



• Never say you '"understand" somebody; it's insulting.



• Only stupid people get bored.



• You don't have to be wealthy to have great works of art in your home; just purchase a good print, have it framed nicely, and enjoy!



• When eating out, never order a steak! It doesn't take any great skill or effort - you could do it at home in 5 minutes.
