Those large papercutters with all the warnings on them about missing fingers, yeah they were serious. Ask my thumb.

Women lie as much as they can, they can't seem to help it.

At first you are afraid it will kill you, then you are horrified that it won't.

Your gear is worthless unless you have it with you when you need it.

Your opinion matters alot to you and next to nothing to everyone else.

Work sucks but you die when you retire.

Enjoy the little moments, there aren't many big ones so why wait.

Use it or lose it.

Only depend on yourself.

Laugh as much as you can, like Eddie Murphy.

Try the soup, you'll like it.

When going to a new Chinese restaurant the Lo-Mein and the Fried rice are safe, hard to screw those up!

Zombies are going to get you so take out as many as you can before you die.

Knives break alot less often than guns run out of ammo.

Not only do you not know the half of it, you don't even know half of the half and you should be happy to know so little.

If you own a Brembo radial master cylinder for your motorcycle, make sure you secure the pivot pin with safety wire through the middle. They can and do come out at speed. Sometimes the end result hurts a bit.

That happened a little over a year ago. Honestly it didn't hurt until everything had to be put back into place. Of course, I also had a concussion and was in and out for a while.. I don't really remember much about that day after the wreck.

I lost some movement of my thumb, but nothing severe.


I'l post up my second nugget of knowledge,

The rear brake on a motorcycle does nothing at 100+.

Material data safety sheets give you some of the information you need all of the time, but not all of the information all of the time.

Bicycle helmets don't protect teeth.

To know when the good old days are here.
 
Dont drive straight onto the soft beach without first lowering your tyre pressures, you will get bogged even with 4x4. Bugger, wad to wait for a snatch out.


Dont experiment with how far your car will go with the low fuel light on, especially on a outback road. Had to call a friend to come bring me some fuel, i thought id make it to the station but didnt, bugger.


A 2stroke line trimmer wont work for long with 4stroke fuel. Served it right for being a 2stroke :thumbsdow


Cheers
