Billingsley99 Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Have you ever been given advice a long time ago that you still remember well all these years later. Heres 1 to start us. Almost 30 years ago I walked into a bathroom at Ballantine Hall just as one of my professors did. He said let me give you some advice, " always use the end urinal 50% less chance of being pissed on." Every time I walk into a public restroom I hear those words. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that Professor ever made students take this quiz...😁 As far as advice goes, this was offered by one of my old bosses when he found out I was engaged to be married... "If she can beat you in arm-wrasslin' and out run you, don't do it." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inequality Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 Grandpa told me.. boy, if there comes a time when you think you know it all, your about to die. So I suggest, you always keep an open mind and an eager willingness to learn. That has stuck with me and I find it nearly impossible to shut my brain off. I only sleep 4-5 hours a night. Been that way since I can remember. Not really advice from a buddy- College buddy: you chase the wrong type of women. Me: yeah, why’s that? Buddy: ‘cause you make things too difficult. It’s not that hard if you think about it. Me: wait, why would I take advice from you? The girls you chase already have kids. Buddy: way I see it, if she already has a kid, she must be easy. Plus, she has to have some food around for the brat. Me: 🤦♂️ That dude has been through so many marriages. SMH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have most of your memorable conversations in the bathroom? great memory and why yes I do. When you are in sales and on the road a lot you spend a lot of time in the bathroom. Diet Mountain Dew is my down fall. In most parts of central Indiana just ask and I can tell you what bathrooms to use and which ones to stay away from.

DWB Posted July 17, 2020 Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) When I was young (like 7) I went to the basement and my Dad was working on Mom's old wringer washing machine. I ask him, "why don't you just call a repair guy to fix it?" He replied: "Son, I might as well try to fix it and save myself some money, cause the repair guy isn't gonna charge me anymore if I F-it up, than if I called him in the first place." That sage advice, has saved me Thousands of dollars over the years. Edited July 17, 2020 by DWB 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
