Lessons learned young.

Do not come home from a gig at 0300, slip into bed and whisper into your sleeping wife's ear "what time does your husband get home".
Slap her on the rump and announce "You're up big girl!" or "Daddy's home!!" She'll pretend to be sound asleep so you can get a good nights rest before the morning chewing out.
 
LOL. This image has been around for a number of years

My old man would have said, "No . . . leave him alone . . . he needs to LEARN this !" ;)
 
Had a little minibike when I was about 5 or 6, it actually started a lifetime of motorcycles. Anyway, had my own little gas can and everything, maybe a gallon, not a lot. Knew that the stuff was flammable but really cool when I put a little bit in an old coffee can and threw a match in, could see the flames flare for a second or so...neato! Wonder what that REALLY looks like, yep put a little in, hold face over the top to get a good view, now drop the match in. I remember seeing it clearly right before the eyelashes, eyebrows, and a bunch of hair left! :D

I got smarter with time though, noticed that if I bent to two inner tangs of a fork back the outer two lined right up perfectly with the wall socket... :D

To life lessons learned in just about the same timeframe..

Yeah, I was that kid...:(
 
NavyFather taught me how to box and thought I needed another lesson...said if the other fellow was bigger and wanted tell you how bad he was gonna hurt you...do the right kick. when he goes down keep heeling and toeing till he's had nuff or quits moving. It usually works. What is it about Navy guys and Marines??
 
The phone rang while I was watching Ma iron clothes. She sat the iron up and ran for the phone after telling me, "Don't tough that iron: it's hot.

Hmmm. I wonder how hot. A moment later this 5 year old knew how hot felt.
 
Don't take marriage advice from someone divorced and
never take financial advice from a broke Richard.

They don't learn how to box - they learn how to fight.
 
how true

With the handle Britbike, you should also know that with older British vehicles the absence of oil under the car in the morning means you should add a couple of quarts before starting up.:D

The reason the Brits drink their beer warm is because their refrigerators are made by Lucas, the prince of darkness. The headlight switches have only 3 positions, off, dim, and flicker.
 
My buddy bought a can of mace.
We sprayed it into the air.
My inquisitive nature got the best of me. I wondered what it smelled like.
Not my smartest move.
My buddy saw me coughing and choking, so he decided to see what it smelled like too.
I guess he was a little dumber than me.
 
In 7th Grade science class I pulled the plug from a soldering iron, however one of the prongs broke off and stayed in the 120 volt socket

I was a smart kid. I knew all about electricity, and touching only one side of the socket would not shock me. So I grabbed a hold on the copper prong and tried to pull it out.

I then learned that I was not a genius after all.
