When deciding what to do, the order of trumps is legal, then prudent, then right. Do what is legal unless what is prudent is illegal, then do what is prudent. If doing what is right is neither prudent or legal, do it anyway because it's right.

Never start fights with people. Always be prepared to finish a fight someone else starts with you, quickly, without posturing, hesitation, or mercy. Regardless of their size, shape, color, creed, or uniform, bullies can never be allowed to win.

When solving a problem, always start with the simplest possibility first.

Never lend anyone: Your truck, your pen, your chainsaw, or your wife. No matter what, they're going to do something with them that you're not going to like.

You can never have too many pens, flashlights, knives, or bullets.

Try to live a happy life while impinging on others as little as possible. Pretty much the exact opposite of right-wingers.

Keep the roof watertight, keep the toilet flushing, keep oil in the engines, keep gas in the tanks, keep at least a week of food in the pantry. Literally nothing else on this earth matters if you don't have these five things done.

Embrace the difficulty, because it’s not going to go away.

And even without reprimanded - I can damn well guarantee that person will EVER make that same mistake.

Not everything requires a paper-trail.
