In high school, the yearbook advisors came to me for a suggestion for the class quote. They ignored my advice and went with "Before reality comes the dream."
I wanted, "No matter how you shake and dance, the last few drops go down your pants." So much more applicable to the modern, workaday world.
Oddly enough, they did use my suggested category of "Most Likely to Wind Up Living in a Dumpster." I am just glad that I didn't win that category.

Sometimes really good advice is simple. My father told me "Don't freak out." There were many sleepless nights when it was the best message.

I don't care how clean you have made it--I am not going to eat off of your toilet. Dog forgive me for my blasphemy.

Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.

Here is a piece of advice I give to people commenting on internet posts, although this advice can be used in any form of conversation:
If the first part of your sentence is, "I have no idea what I am talking about, but...," then don't add a second part to the sentence. The world will be better off.

So it's OK to have no idea what you are talking about as long as you don't fess up? I think there's a respectable honesty in admitting you have no idea. And if you have no idea, who's to say you are wrong? But disregard me because I have no idea what I'm talking about. Should I have said that in the first instance and then stopped?
