There is no "I" in team, But there are four in " Platitude quoting Idiot"

One from Helen Keller--"Security is mostly a superstition. It is not found in nature nor do the children of men as whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer, in the long run, than outright exposure. Life is daring adventure or nothing at all."

It worked before I fixed it.

I drive better when I'm drunk.
The older I get , the faster I was.
From my dad;" Don't worry son , some day you'll ride a Harley and your balls will drop , your voice will change and you'll start liking girls".
Also from dad; "If your gonna work for a living you better find somthing you like to do because you will be doing that for the rest of your life"
One day while I was trying to get stuff done at the shop my dad walked in with the carb off of his boat and he wanted me to go threw it for him , "like right now". Later I was teling a good freind who's dad had passed away years ago , about how my dad had took over my day that way and he told me" I wish my dad could walk into my shop" Since then those were words to live by.
