Rules of Conduct – Be Nice !

Some folks learn the easy way, some folks learn the hard way, and some folks never learn at all.

Never try to teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time and annoys the hell out of the pig.

Even if you were under the bed, but didn't peek, it could have been a really good game of Gin!
