TBG's Rules

A few posts back I mentioned TBG's Rules...
Someone had the temerity to ask about posting them.

Jeebus you people are pushy.

Ok... Here you go:

The Big Guy's Rules

Annexed, borrowed, stolen, appropriated, and otherwise garnered from various sources.

1. Don't confuse motion with progress.
2. Everything takes longer than you think.
3. Always treat it like its loaded. Especially when it's not.
4. Never argue with a woman. Even if you win, you've lost.
5. Avoid any action with an unacceptable outcome.
6. Its better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
7. Never believe what you are told. Double check. Always double check.
8. Always keep your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.
9. Never be unreachable. (This is for OTHER PEOPLE.)
10. Never go anywhere without a knife.
11. No good deed goes unpunished.
12. Nothing is as easy as it looks.
13. Jay's rule of high steel: Don't let go of something until you have a hold of something else.
14. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD.
15. If you're part of a team, work with the team.
16. Trying to "teach someone a lesson"never works.
17. Do not say "hi" to a perfect stranger in any town with a population over 2,000. The friendly gesture in Bugtussle Alabama is a scary act of aggression in Boston.
18. When you're ready to quit, you're closer than you think.
19. Don’t Shit where you eat.
20. The person who sincerely says to you, "I want to get to know you better," is a person you don't want to know at all.
21. Never make a threat you don’t intend to carry out.
22. Anything that is not managed will deteriorate.
23. Remember Kaizen: Small daily improvements eventually result in huge advantages.
24. Stuff can be replaced.
25. Never expect life to be fair.
