Default My simplistic philosophies of life

Being a simple person, a couple of my simplistic philosophies of life...

-If putting from off the green;
downhill - Pin IN
uphill - Pin Out!

Also in the kitchen;

- Always put egg in potato salad, but
Never put potato in egg salad.

I'll close with the one that I have followed since I was a young'un...

- When traveilng down life's highway,
Whatever be your goal,
Focus on the doughnut size, and
Not the size of the doughnut hole!


What are your simplistic philosophies of life?

Default Not my philosophy, but certainly a simple one...

That reminds me of another "simple philosophy" I've heard before: If you and your friend are in the woods and you encounter a bear, you don't have to outrun the bear. You just have to outrun your friend.

Life is to short to drink cheap wine.

If your not dragging metal, your not riding on the edge.

12 hours from bottle to throttle. I know, I know, the rule is 24.

The need for speed

If you see two yellow lines, close one eye.

I was once asked by a psychologist, what I worried about. I told him that I didn't worry. He thought this was strange, and asked me why. I told him that if there's some sort of a problem and there's anything I can do about it, I will, but if there's nothing I can do about it, why worry.

When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.

If you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much room!
