You can tune a piano, but you can't tuna fish.

AND...You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose...unless you're unusually close.

One of the curses of an affluent society is men having the means to acquire motor vehicles, power tools and other apparatus and "toys" that they have no business being around, much less attempting to operate.

Don't corner something that's meaner than you.

Don't interfere with something that ain't bothering you.

And never assume that a man is weak because he's polite and kind.
