Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, 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.

nahThis rhymes! Got this from a chemical plant supervisor,
"If it's brown it's cooked, if it's black it's fooked" (he was from Yorkshire).

Reminds me of a poem from schoolBe accurate when cooking toast,
Never try to guess.
Cook it till it smokes,
then twenty seconds less.
