Three rules for improving your survival fittness (due to Nelsen Algren):

1. Never play cards with a man called Doc.

2. Never eat at a place called Mom's.

3. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.

I've been told that my participation in the action in question makes it impossible to avoid the stated outcome.

Doc stuck those on me too, but here's a couple more:

1. Never trust a man with no neck.

2. Never pet a dog that's on fire.

DS, you want to start a collection?

4. (from a Kliban cartoon) "Never try to eat anything larger than your head."
