There are two rules in life:
1) Never tell everything you know.
2) See #1.

 

You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim

Ba, doodie do dee, dee dee.

 

Croce -- one of my favorites. I particularly liked Car Wash blues. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workin'_at_the_Car_Wash_Blues

For the TS, he might like the whole version:

Particularly the part about the county prison.

 

Or listen to Johnny's mom. Always be a good boy.

 

Reality wins every time. It's one of these things that in back of our mind we always knew.

 

Avoid the classic blunders: Never get involved in a land war in Asia, and never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

 

Hold a piglet by the hind legs upside down. It won't squeal and mama won't kill you.

 

Of course they(talking heads on here) went straight for the kill. Noticed how they talk in disguised threats. Because that is what their daddy would do. No love just threats.

 

 

That women like it too.

 

Never trip a professor.

Not valid anymore, but back in the day (of punched cards and batch processing), I used to hang out in the computer center before semester projects were due.

The quality of the coeds who left trying to program until the night before was amazing! Led to many awesome nights.

 

Nope, neither of those methods does it. With ballroom dancing, you can go up to a lady you have never met and have her in your arms within seconds! And it only takes a few words: "Would you like to cha-cha?" And these days, the ladies can do the same.

These days if you walk up to a woman and ask if she would like to cha-cha, there's a better than average chance you'll get arrested for sexual harassment, hate speech, and using microaggressions, the video will end up on national news, you'll lose your job, your kids will be taken from you, and the jury will award all of the victimized bystanders everything you own.

Depends on the context. I do not suggest doing this anywhere except at a ballroom dance, and only if a cha-cha is playing.
