    Never play pool with a guy named after a city.

                  I'm thinking of writing a tip. My past tips have not gone so well, they don't get a lot of views or votes and the votes are not so great, I don't think the tip is all that bad. I think a tip should be be a short bit of experience you can offer, not a full article. What are your thoughts? What makes a good tip?

                                  Okay I don't think this one sucks, it has worth wile content: Building a Bridge...[^] Not even any spelling errors. I looked at yours, they look good. I'll use yours as a guideline. Are you a mentor here on CP John?

                                        Don't so this. There may be a war. At that point people's hearts will break, bodies will need to be buried (using spades of course) and the only entertainment left will be in clubs.

                                          Now when did that actually happen? I came to the states about 13 years ago and the wisdom at the time was 15%. Now suddenly everybody seems to be insisting that it's 20% now. I think it's a conspiracy by waiters. :suss:
