try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

5.) After eating an entire bull a mountain lion felt so good
he let out a terrific roar.

11.)Always drink upstream from the herd.

12.)When you give a lesson on meanness to a critter or a person,
don't be surprised if they learned their lesson.

be ready to have it thrown around by someone else.

14.)The quickest way to double your money
is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.

16.)There are three kinds of men.
The one that learns by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
And the rest of them
who have to pee on an electric fence for themselves.
