16 things it takes most of us 50 years to learn:
I learned this through hard experience at the age of 25 but only after humiliating the pregnant woman I complimented:
3. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
A lesson I probably need to learn, as someone who blogs his religious views on an almost daily basis:
7. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
Amen to the following.�� There is no clear and compelling reason.�� Even if you want to share one (I’M NOT LISTENING LALALALALA):
2. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight-saving time.
The list is too short.�� Do you all have any more lessons to offer?

I’ve found this one to be all too true:
“13. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.”
I think my addition to the list should be:
“The most dangerous time and place to drive is near any house of worship just as services are letting out.”
I used to think this just applied to Christians, but I currently live down the block from our local mosque, and those who follow Islam are the same as the Christians. I think it has to do with the ideat that, having just spent some time with God, people seem to assume that they are protected no matter how badly they drive.
Oh, and one I just saw violated yesterday, and by someone who looked to be considerably over the 50-year mark:
Put the ice in your glass before you pour your drink, especially if vending it from an ice machine in a restaurant.
Think about it.

Your teenager will wreck your car at least once. Be prepared.

I really liked this one:
11. You should never confuse your career with your life.
And my own:
You will never be exactly what your mother wanted you to be. So it’s best to stop trying while you are young and have enough time to be what you want to be.

I think this one applies fairly well to me.
6. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”

#1 is fantastic…although I’m sure there are other things whose presence can be used to determine, directly or inversely, the quality of a movie. Kevin Bacon is one…
#10 is cute, too
