Measure twice, cut once. Measure again after cutting. Cuss. Go get another piece of material. Measure three times ....
(Yes, this is based on personal experience.

The scene for this one was a Sheriff's Office in the old west where 2
Deputies were getting ready for the arrival of a guy with a mean reputation.
One Deputy had made sure his six gun was loaded and was watching
his partner load up multiple guns before asking him, "Why so many guns?"
His partner answered, "I don't want ta die for lack of shootin' back."
Another happened to my neighbor back in the late 1960's or early 70's,
told by another neighbor who was there.
They were going to Canada on a hunting or fishing trip and because
the one neighbor was a local Deputy Sheriff he thought he would
be able to take his handgun into Canada.
When asked at the border about weapons my neighbor dutifully informed
the Canadian Customs Agent (CA) about the handgun he had with him.
The CA told him that he couldn't bring it into the country and when my
neighbor told the CA that he was a Sheriff's Deputy the Customs Agent said.
"I don't care if you're Deputy Dawg, you're not bringing that gun into Canada."

My mentor of thirty years ago said on seeing an incredibly stupid act...
"Well, we all can't be president of the bank"
As I age, I find this thought going thru my mind more frequently!

"What other people do is none of my business unless THEY choose to make it so." (I expect a lot of folks think like this, but I made it simple....for me.)

It ain't where you're going, when you'll get there, or what you'll be doing,
it's who you are with that counts.

From a wise old country boy here in SC:
"There's two things really make me mad, fer a man to offer me a drink and then pull out a half pint; and fer a feller to shoot me with a .22"
