Old Farmer's Advice:


Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered... not yelled.
Meanness don't just happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about, ain't never gonna happen anyway.
Don't judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good and honorable life, then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
Don't interfere with something' that ain't bothering you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every morning'.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.
If you get to thinking' you're a person of some influence, try ordering' somebody else's dog around.
Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly, and enjoy the ride.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just shoot you!

One for the farmer, one for the crow. One to rot, and one to grow.

Good thoughts to live by. Meanness does not happen overnight is really true, many times it takes generations to create that much resentment and hatred.

Advice from an old sailor


1. Never forget--"they" are always the enemy.

2. Just remember, (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)holes are born that way, and they usually don't change.

3. You don't want to go to jail.

4. When you start to take this job seriously, you're in trouble.

5. It takes no more time to see the good side of life than it takes to see the bad.

6. If you decide to run the ball, just count on fumbling and getting the s*** knocked out of you a lot, but never forget how much fun it is just to be able to run the ball!”

Never pick a fight with an ugly man; he aint got nothing to lose.

Life is too short to dance with ugly women.

Never judge a farmer by his house, only the condition of his barn.

Always got this one when I got up for chores after a good night out.
