Joe Willie On The Shrimpbox: "An Old Farmer's Advice."

"An Old Farmer's Advice"

* Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight
and bull-strong. **

* Keep skunks and bankers at a distance. **

*** Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

* A bumble bee is considerably faster than a
John Deere tractor.

* Words that soak into your ears are whispered...
not yelled.

* Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.

* Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.

* Do not corner something that you know is meaner
than you.

* It don't take a very big person to carry a
grudge. **

*** You cannot unsay a cruel word.

* Every path has a few puddles.

* When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

* The best sermons are lived, not preached.

* Most of the stuff people worry about ain't
never gonna happen anyway.

* Don't judge folks by their relatives.

* Remember that silence is sometimes the best
answer.

* Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get
older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't
botherin' you none.

* Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a
rain dance.

* If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to
do is stop diggin'.

* Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get
got.

* The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever
have to deal with, watches you from the mirror
every mornin'.

* Always drink upstream from the herd.

* Good judgment comes from experience, and
a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

* Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot
easier than puttin' it back in.

* If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some
influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog
around.

* Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.
Speak kindly. Leave the rest to G~d.*
