Best advice you're dad ever gave you

[Sephiroth]

When it came time for "the talk," my dad was pretty straightforward. He didn't go on about birds and bees, nor did he draw stick figures. He just said "If you're gonna do it, wear a rubber." Nuff said.

"Don't cook bacon without a shirt"

Don't get drunk on a ship, start fights with a commanding officer, and get flung out of the merchant Navy when trying to hide the fact you're Italian and want to get out of certain countries without applying to the more volatile/violent armed forces.

When that's the best he could muster up on his death bed it lets me know that he truly was fantastic. Cheers, Da'.

"Stop picking at it."

[A Platypus Rave]

"Don't let the bastards get you down"

"You're as dumb as a mule and twice as ugly. If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it."

[Eunös ✈]

"Win or your out the family"

[bluemeii]

Don't call your wife derogatory names (dumbass, stupid, etc.), and NEVER go to bed angry at her no matter how bad the fight was. Always reconcile first.

[Amazing Kitsune]

Don't stay angry. It doesn't hurt anybody else but you.

[The Unconquered Sun]

- for what ever excuse I ever had-
"Is that going to be your f***ing crutch the rest of your life?"
By the time I was 11 I never made excuses.

[MC Blowfish]

None.

[wakko]

Blame your gas on your wife.

"Son, there are different ways to spell 'your', and it's important to know the difference between them."

I was just going to post what my dad told me as far as "the talk" it was 1989 and the night I graduated middle school-word was out a girl was pregnant and that was unheard of at that time so my dad said "Keep it in your pants until you're married"

This was more from my Grandpa.

My dad only did one "father/son" talk with me when I was about 22. And it wasn't advice, it was vile and ugly. And had to do with hurting people he was scared of. Not going to say exactly what it was. But form that moment I was even more sure to be the opposite of him.

[BigJerichool222]

When he told me to use "your" when talking about something possessive and "you're" when describing someone.

My father didn't give me much advice, but he told me once to always give homeless people change because, even if they're addicted to crack, it's better than getting yourself stabbed.

Never gave me advice on money, women or life... But I guess if I ever encounter a deranged knife-wielding crack addict, I'll know what to do.

my dad tells me life is not a peanut , you cant just open it & eat it - dont know what that means , Im afraid to ask
