Most Excellent, Cben!

Thanks!

I think I like this one the best:

You start the game of life with a full pot of luck and an empty pot
of experience... The object is to fill the pot of experience before
you empty the pot of luck. If you wait, all that happens is that you
get older.

These three cracked me up

When you're riding lead, don't spit.

Catching a yellow jacket in your shirt @ 70 mph can double your vocabulary.

There's something wrong about a NEW bike on a trailer.
