Good Advice!!

 

All I Need To Know I Learned On The Cattle Range

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are several theories on how to argue with a woman...none work.  (Probably not learned on the range)

(Heinlein said “A man who is arguing with a women and finds himself winning, should immediately stop and apologize.”  But see next number.)

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men:
      - Those who learn by reading,
      - Those who learn by observation, and
      - Those that have to touch the electric fence to see if it's really on.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

Little addition to # 8. Do not touch, WET PAINT.

Nothing worse than re doing a project after someone touches semi wet paint.

A real "learned" man wont touch it again!!
My story, when I was 4 or 5 I went out to the pasture to do wh**ever 5 year olds do and had to cross an electric fence which I knew was turned off, but when I got straddling it my lovely big brother turned it on ..... well let me tell you son, it was no fun. Imagine this your straddling a wire fence that you can't let go of because your hands can't open and if you could it would hit your,,,,,well you know,
because you had to push down to get across it. So what do you do now, remember this is a "dumb kid" thinking. On top of that he's over there laughing as hard as i am hollering to turn it off. So I see the big tree where the fence is attached so start working my way to it by holding the wire in one hand and pulling the other hand off (not easy to do when your hand is locked on it) and all the time protecting my nads, what little bit of them I had at that age lol, FINALLY after a while he turned it off, damn did get over the fence fast before turned it back on. I have never went near another electric fence I am telling you
When I got older and worked with electrical equipment I wondered what would happened if I had made it to the tree because my plan at the time was to get there and put one hand on the tree then pull the other off the wire and get free. One thing this episode taught me when I had kids was to remember that even at an early age their minds are as analytical as a grownups. Just don't have as much learning/experience to work with. 😬🤕

Well. Will Rogers had a different spin on what it took for some to learn, especially the one who could only learn something was by Pi~~ing on the electric fence. More graphic, don't you think. Just Sayin...RJS

I’ll never forget the morning before a goose hunt when my family was lined up along an alfalfa strip next to a cut corn field with our decoys in it. It was probably 20 minutes before daylight when we heard this Godawful scream and a chorus of “blue” language coming from someone not too far from where my Dad and I were standing. At first it sounded like a distraught coyote with this “Owwooooo…s#it….Son of a …”
Dad jut chuckled and told me “I believe your Uncle Bob just learned about the benefits of peeing on an electric fence”

I guess he was wide awake for the hunt 😲😳💥💥💥💥
