Wacky advice that turned out to have some merit

[lewisnotmiller]

Picture the scene...you've just downed your 15th [beer/wine/sparkling water/bottle of metho] for the day, and you're feeling pretty good about how it progressed. After all, you really showed [Jones at work/Cathy at the school canteen/Barry at the unemployment centre/Squidgy in Ward D] how capable you were. You're feeling great. Chipper, even. A bit random too. You know those moods. Cheeky.

As you place your glass down on the [table/butler's tray/gutter] you hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet. You notice [your son/your daughter/a niece/a nephew/a random little person who appeared for the sake of narrative completeness].

Feeling like it was time to impart your wisdom on the future generations, you take this small bundle of hope aside, sit them on your knee and say...

[Insert your piece of offbeat, sage advice here. Might be something you heard which sounded like tripe, but increasingly seems profound. Might be something you make up on the spot, much like my attempt to start a thread. Might be something you've really told someone. Funny is good. Profound is good. Funny AND profound is SUPER AWESOME - and probably just showing off.]

 

[dust1n]

"Life is not a party. Life is work. We occasionally stop work to party, not the other way around."

My kids laughed at me for this quote for many years. Finally, I realize they were right. "Life is a party".

When your drinky drinky interferes with work, that's OK.
