Old advice but still good today.

Have you noticed old sayings and advice are just as valid today as they were back in the year.

Here are a few from Will Rogers...

1)Never slap a man who is chewing tobacco.

2)Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.   (Learned that one the hard way)

3)Never miss a good chance to shut up.

4) Always drink upstream from the heard.

and my favorite...

5) There are two theories to arguing with a woman...Neither works!!!!

Yes Will Rogers was a very smart man|!

William good stuff. I love old sayings. They never change. I used to ask my father stock buying advice and he would say I will look through my crystal ball and tell you if it is going to go up or down. That was one I think he made up and told me over and over.

The last one holds so very true.  Young people may not understand most of the others.
