| |
| (1) Never arrive on time, or you will |
| be stamped a beginner. |
| |
| (2) Don't say anything until the |
| meeting is half over; this |
| |
| stamps you as being wise. |
| |
| (3) Be as vague as possible; this |
| prevents irritating the |
| |
| others. |
| |
| (4) When in doubt, suggest that a |
| subcommittee be appointed. |
| |
| (5) Be the first to move for |
| adjournment; this will make you |
| |
| popular -- it's what everyone is |

| |
| frustrated and have not further use for |
| thee except for thy wages. (10) Commit |

| |
| written down in thy Bible which is the |
| National Electrical Code, |
| |
| and giveth out with the straight dope |
| and consoleth thee when |

| muckest about with a device in an |
| unthinking and/or |
| |
| unknowing manner, thou shalt keep one |
| hand in thy pocket. Better |
| |
| that thou shouldest keep both hands in |

/ Keep in mind always the four constant \
| Laws of Frisbee: |
| |
| (1) The most powerful force in the |
| world is that of a disc |
| |
| straining to land under a car, just out |
| of reach (this |
| |
| force is technically termed "car |
| suck"). |
| |
| (2) Never precede any maneuver by a |
| comment more predictive |
| |
| than "Watch this!" |
| |
| (3) The probability of a Frisbee |
| hitting something is directly |
| |
| proportional to the cost of hitting it. |
| For instance, a |
| |
| Frisbee will always head directly |
| towards a policeman or |
| |
| a little old lady rather than the beat |
| up Chevy. |
| |
| (4) Your best throw happens when no one |
| is watching; when the |
| |
| cute girl you've been trying to impress |
| is watching, the |
| |
| Frisbee will invariably bounce out of |
| your hand or hit you |
| |
\ in the head and knock you silly. /

/ I was offered a job as a hoodlum and I \
| turned it down cold. A thief is anybody |
| who gets out and works for his living, |
| like robbing a bank or breaking into a |
| place and stealing stuff, or kidnapping |
| somebody. He really gives some effort |
| to it. A hoodlum is a pretty lousy sort |
| of scum. He works for gangsters and |
| bumps guys off when they have been put |
| on the spot. Why, after I'd made my |
| rep, some of the Chicago Syndicate |
| wanted me to work for them as a hood -- |
| you know, handling a machine gun. They |
| offered me two hundred and fifty |
| dollars a week and all the protection I |
| needed. I was on the lam at the time |
| and not able to work at my regular |
| line. But I wouldn't consider it. "I'm |
| a thief," I said. "I'm no lousy |
| hoodlum." |

| The use of the passive is a |
