This is a question Advice from Old People

Sometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.

Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.

Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

Dont knock it
My dad - hes not particularly old.. but always and usually inappropriately utters "dont knock it unless you've tried it!"
case A
Brother had lots of accusations of being gay as a teen (based on him having long hair.. i dont understand it either) sat around dinner table and hes protesting that hes not gay.. dad utters those words, with a worrying (to me and my bro) look on his face.
case B
Friend from school died in a motorcycle incident, got home and was telling parents about it mum says "thats awful" and dad says "dont knock it till you've tried it"

not sure about you but dieing in a motorcycle accident isnt high on my list of priorities despite being advised it might be better than i think

I'm impressed...
that despite your friend dying in an accident, they still made it home to tell their parents (-:
