Seriously, the best advice I got as a kid.
I'm sitting here laughing thinking about this, as another thread reminded me of this.

When I was young, I was at a family gathering. My Uncle was hammered drunk.

He said..."Philboy, come here, I wanna (hic) tell you something. Don't ever forget I told you this".

I said "OK"

He said..."Someday you will be sitting on an airplane, and you will start talking to the guy sitting next to you. After having a few laughs, he will say to you...Hey!! I will bet you $10,000 that I can pull a 3,000 pound martini out of my right ear, right now. Do you know why you should not bet him?"

"Why?" I say.

My uncle says...."BECAUSE HE WILL DO IT!!"

Best advice I ever got.

2. I'd be willing to bet that you don't frequent casinos.
