The "Spit and Whittle Gang" is at it again. Here are some words to live by, according to the Spit and Whittlers. Some are really good advice. ******************...*************** * There' are two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. * Don't dig for water under the outhouse. * Generally, you ain't learnin' nothing when your mouth's a-jawin'. * Don't mess with something that ain't bothering you. * Never drive black cattle in the dark. * Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from any direction. * The only good reason to ride a bull is to meet a nurse. * Never ask how stupid someone is 'cause they'll turn around and show you. * Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. * I'm a stock broker, the more stock I have, the broker I get.
