Words of Wisdom from Tom Parris

June 18, 2014

Submitted by Tom Parris, Past President

• Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
• Drive carefully… It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
• 
  If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
• 
  If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
• 
  It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
• 
  Never buy a car you can’t push.
• 
  Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.
• 
  Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
• 
  The second mouse gets the cheese.
• 
  When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
