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.

This is a QotW answer you must have heard this one
my mum likes to say "you might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb".
i was nearly 20 by the time i fully understood it, but i agree with it completely.

This is a QotW comment I agree with this
For example, if you kill someone, and know you're going to get caught, that's 20 years, and "shower-time fun".

If you kill someone, realise it's 20 years, and then mutilate the corpse, eat bits of it, chop it about, make a hat from the buttocks, and paint yourself in it's blood, then you'll get less time, in a cushy secure hospital, and no bathtime extras.
