Yeah, I agree...that's a terrible advice to give to someone like you, Brett.

.

my grandma, who 1/2 raised me said: Don't get into sports (though it did not stop my playing in school) as a profession, there is no money in it.
Though I very well may not have been a pro, there were/are other things that I could have done, even if only the FO.
That was the worst advice.

Jason, you are never going to look back on your life and wish you had less sex... unless of course you're dying of aids.

Oh...that's low. We had something good in the original thread, so I thought we can start something a bit more lighthearted for this dreary Monday morning.

I see how you think of my contribution here...:(

And that was a bad advice? Look at Brett...he's going to be a fucking millionaire by the time he's 30, and I doubt that he's ever gotten his hands dirty in his life...and I'm dead serial about him becoming a millionaire young.

that should have been on your other thread..oops!!..

Haha...sorry, man. But seriously, that advice can go both ways. There are number of people, who have made a ton of money by getting their hands dirty doing hard work. Then there's Brett.

Not advice, but one of my first bosses was fond of telling me (and pretty much any employee) if my brain weren't attached to my asshole, it'd fall out. I'd laugh. my co workers were scared of his coarse language, but I quickly figured out that the time to get scared was when he stopped swearing.

I was told that I should study something in college that would help me get a job. Worst advice I ever got. I studies economics with the idea that I'd be a banker. Totally sucked at econ. On the other hand, any time I took a social science class, like anthropology or sociology, I did really well and loved it. I wish I stuck with what I enjoyed and what I was good at. Been pretty miserable in work ever since.

lol - the converse of that is it's never a bad time to pee or fill up the tank with gas.

Soccer Team. One afternoon, we were preparing to play in the Dr. Pepper Tournament, and one of our team mate's father asked if he could speak to the team. I don't remember the bulk of his speech, but I do remember the punch line. "Now go out there and fuck'm fast!!!"

I think we were around 12 to 14 years old at the time. So to us boys the fact that this dad said "Fuck" publicly to us was the funniest thing we had ever heard. We all howled at that.

I also recall this same father gave us a chant to shout out before every game, "Ooo Ahhh Ooooo!!!" He said it was a Native American phrase that meant sodomy. It was obviously some made up phrase and it didn't really mean sodomy, but it was so ridiculous that us boys loved it. We all thought it was hysterical to shout out some random piece of vulgarity before every game, where no one else but us knew what it meant.

That father was a great guy, who really knew how to get a team to relax and have fun playing sports.

something my dad told me last week. I cannot remember.

because my pay would be based on commission.

I now own two dealerships.

now I remember. He told me to always "follow up" when applying for a job and keep calling to "show them" you want the job. I did that a couple of times. Never worked. Well, to be fair to him I was probably overqualified for the job every time ;-) I haven't applied for a job in 3 years, maybe I should try to work the magic one more time?

never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear.

With a thick italian accent once told me as he was doing my parents roof. Hr shouted down at me "you have to follow the jew, they have all the moneys". The statement combined with his accent had me dying laughing
