The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

When out walking in the snow you can melt snow for drinking and cooking – provided you are not walking with a Labrador and the snow is not yellow

Before criticising someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

That way, when you do criticise them, you're a mile away.

…… and you have their shoes.

I was having a birthday present parachute jump bought for me by my kids.

I jumped out of the aircraft. It was then i realised i had forgotten what the instructor had told me about the chute deployment. After some time speeding to earth i saw something approaching me at speed. It was a man clinging to a cooker coming up.

I shouted , hey do you know anything about parachutes, he replied no, do you know anything about gas cookers.

My favourite is from my 1888 'Enquire Within Upon Everything'. It's 'Never meddle with gunpowder by candlelight.'

And in similar cheery vein: 'Death does not blow a Trumpet'

No but you might hear it coming, just very briefly, as you meddled with your gunpowder by candlelight!
