Two things that stand out and were learnt on a Parenting Course:

1. You can't drink your own urine but you can drink other people's.
2. It's impossible to fire an automatic pistol accurately whilst running.

both statements are somewhat moot.

imbibing one's own urine is on record as saving many a life.
running while firing a gun and killing baddies is a staple of every
cop/action movie, but I've seen real life cop cam events on you tube where running cops discharge
their weapons to fatal effect.

However not all advice is guaranteed to be true, someone once said
" ye cannae shove yer granny aff a bus " , and I did, quite easily in fact.

This was advice from Stirling Moss. When you need a meal and you dont know if the chef can cook, more importantly can cook safely, order a well done fried steak and chips.

Any lack of hygiene will be sorted out by the high heat.

That is the most oddly specific advice

Yes, I am sure it is, but as someone who has done a lot of travelling I have used it, and remembered the source, all to often.

Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

Never eat at a place called "Mom's", never play cards with a man called "Doc" and never sleep with a woman who has more problems than you.

A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.

You are guaranteed to get good money for a good car but not guaranteed to get bad money for a bad car.

What is that supposed to mean?

Good cars will always sell at the best price.

Whereas bad cars wont necessarilly sell even at the lowest price.

It's not that difficult to comprehend.

Very hard to comprehend. It still doesn't make much sense...

But then neither does your other post, and I've never heard of these as 'well established' or 'infamous'!

Buy cheap buy twice.

I've recently learnt this with the spare room mattress.

Don't buy a cheap mattress for the spare room if you and your other half fall out a lot.

I’ve also heard you should never eat at a restaurant whose name begins ‘New’ (eg ‘New Golden Dragon’) as you have to wonder what happened to the old one...

[talksthetorque]

Don't eat fish or seafood at the first visit to a restaurant.
