THE FIVE RULES TO REMEMBER IN LIFE

1. Money cannot buy happiness, but it's more comfortable to cry in a
Corvette than on a bicycle.

2. Forgive your enemy, but remember the a*****e's name.

3. If you help someone when they're in trouble, they will remember you
when they're in trouble again.

4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them.

5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then neither does milk.:a20:

"We did not all come over on the same ship, but we are all in the same boat.--Bernard Baruch"

Rule 6:
Anytime you say there is a specific number of Rules In Life, someone will instantly come up with another one.
