Truisms

Where I'm from they call these "Hard Sayings"

May 1, 2006 10:27:28 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I know we have a words to live by thread and a movie quotes thread, but I hate to see this core wisdom left out. Maybe you have seen this type of knowledge on a t-shirt or spray painted on an underpass, neither of which make them less useful. I'll start this with a couple of my favorites...then y'all just have at it:

1. Never Play Leapfrog with a Unicorn.

2. Never hold a cat while cranking a chainsaw.

Just to be clear, the post does not have to contain the word "never"...just be a universal truism with a tinge of humor.

I put this one in Words to Live By yesterday, but it should have gone here:

It's hard to play small ball when nobody gets on base...

It would hurt if it did not, though...
For example:
Play Leapfrog with a Unicorn.

OUCH!

Seriously,

When you are at the end of a major project, something will happen so that you lose your work.

Never assume something is idiot-proof...you will simply meet a better class of idiot.

Jafo's reply made me think of one I heard sometime from someone or other:

The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

or spray painted on an underpass


At first glance, I thought this said "spray painted on underpants.
This of course leads to another truism of what not to do, (especially from the inside).

Always make sure that your wish granting genie isn't hard of hearing or you may end up with a 10 inch pianist...

It's better to let others think you are an idiot, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Never argue with Idiots. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
