1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for 
I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me 
the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a 
leaky tire.
3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.
5. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
6. No one is listening until you fart.
7. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

9. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car
payments.

11. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and

probably worth it.

15. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.
16. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

bad judgment.
18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it 
back in your pocket.
19. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
20. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and 
it holds the universe together.

23. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
24. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

the same night.

seriously.
