The Secrets of Life (humorous)…

1. Don’t date a woman who sports a tattoo of a dagger…
2. Never eat at a place called “Mom’s” or play poker with a man named Doc.
3. Don’t piss off the waiter BEFORE he brings you your food.
4. Never put anything on the Internet you wouldn’t want your Mom or your boss to see.
5. Always refresh before posting in the Baker’s Dozen thread or you’ll miss a category.
