    My father often modified proverbs, just for fun. His favorite: "... two birds at hand are worth one in the bush..." Since I inherited similar life outlook, here is mine , as an outcome of recent discussions. " you can instruct them to read the rules, then you have something to brag about if they actually do" Since I used "inheritance " I hope readers will not label this post as programming post.

      I'm gonna be that guy, because I know it's gonna come up sooner rather than later anyway: Don't quit your daytime job to start a career in comedy. Don't look at it as me trying to put you down. Look at it as free advice. I'm doing you a favor. Whether you want to see it that way or not.

        Another modified one: If what you have to say is not more beautiful than silence... Shut the fvck up!

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          I'm a massive fan of butchered sayings... like Biff from Star Trek. Make like a tree- and get outta here. My father, mad at my brother, let fly with, "IF THE SHOE FITS, THEN DON'T SAY ANYTHING STUPID!"

            May I suggest to induce the behavior you prefer merely do not post a message. Sooner or later the message will be received.

                  Absolutely, the best one I have read is: A week in Beijing is worth two in the bush. This was in 1981 when China was not as developed as it is today.
