Dadisms

June 16, 2013

The great Rudyard Kipling once penned a famous poem titled "If", a lyric ode to fatherly advice.  While our Dads may not have been Kipling, they certainly had a flair for giving advice in an interesting way.  This Father's Day Pengallan pays tribute to the Old Man, by honoring his wisdom, often maligned and seldom followed, but in retrospect damn good advice.  Ten things Dad said that you should have listened to:

1. Don't piss into the wind.
2. If you shut up, you just might learn something.
3. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is King.
4. Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.
5. Don't ever look down the barrel of a loaded gun.
6. No one ever said life was fair.
7. If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
8. Just try not to get hit in the nuts.
9. A penny saved, is a penny earned.
10. Just because your friends jump off a cliff, doesn't mean you have to.
