Funny, Spaw, that you remember how to spell - and swear words, too. I'm impressed!

Slow as Spaw, or impressed along with me?

Never give a sucker an even break.
Never say never again.
Never push your granny off the bus.

When asked by Australian immigrations whether you have a criminal record never answer "I didn't think you needed one these days...."

leave it too long to do something you've always wanted to.... after 20 years I now own a motorbike, and I'm scared of it!!!

I'm also head over heels in love with it, and can't wait until I pluck up courage to go out on it again!!!

Never format your C drive without backing up.

Never ask for a pint of Watneys Red in a real ale pub.

A song about a boat or ship can't be interesting if the vessel doesn't sink? How about "The Handsome Cabin Boy"? If that isn't interesting, what is? And you people call yourselves folksingers. (Just Kidding).

Don't be a woman in a Stephen Foster song, or any other 19th century song, for that matter.

Don't be a soldier in a sentimental song. Your life span will be about 3 minutes.

Don't be a little girl in a Hans Christian Anderson story.

Personal Experience: Don't get a haircut (especially a flat-top) from a Republican barber when there are a bunch of old men hanging around the barber shop trying to bait him by saying nice things about Democrats.

Oh, yeah, I forgot - Never, in my presence, refer to Bob Dyland as a harmonica player. He is merely a harmonica owner.

Don’t be cruel.
Don’t cry for me, Argentina.
Don’t drop it in the soup.
Don’t ever take heed of what pretty girls say.
Don’t fence me in.
Don’t forget the union label.
Don’t forsake me, oh my darlin’.
Don’t go ‘round tonight.
Don’t go down in the mine, dad.
Don’t leave your records in the sun.
Don’t put me down or get upset.
Don’t swap your old cow for a car.
Don’t think twice, it’s all right.
Don’t you be like me.
Don’t you leave me here.
Don’t you listen to him, Dan.
Don’t you weep; don’t you mourn.
You can help yourself, but don’t take too much.

Never put a cat into a pet-carrier head-first. The head is the only thing you'll get in there. (Learned this from my vet: back him into it, with a hand in front of his nose!)

Never rain in southern California.
Never play the wild rover, nay never no more.
Never fall in love again (at least, until tomorrow).

I haven't seen the oldest and most useful from any of our nautical friends:

Don't spit off the bow.

(Applies to all emisssions of bodily fluids and other circumstances with "upwind" connotations.)

Cat carrier... minds me of the time I tried in vain to get one of ours out of a carrier at the vet's. Vet watched me for a while, smiled and said, "Let me try." She picked up the carrier and dumped the cat onto the examining table, upon which, I smiled too. Of course, my ex and the vet roared with laughter.
