A few practical lessons

C5 is a glorious piece of road for spirited driving, but it absolutely sucks at 9 p.m.

You just can't rush forgiveness.

There are people who will hate your guts no matter what you do. Don't give them that satisfaction.

Never throw used tissue in the toilet...unless you want to see toilet water and shit coming after you.

Just because motorcyclists run on two wheels doesn't give them the right to cut in line or be excused assholes on the streets.

When you change into a free lane on a highway and all the other lanes are blocked with slowpokes, you should commit into a decisive passing maneuver. Otherwise you end up becoming a mobile obstacle for drivers behind you. If you can't commit, don't. It's simple lane courtesy.

Everyone's broken in one way or another.

Taken by themselves, friendship is a lot better than love. So make sure your lover is also your best friend.

Sex is overrated, especially as depicted in the media. Don't think with your 'nads.

Always pay attention to how much fuel you have left, and err on the side of caution. In Germany, the polizei arrest drivers who run out of gas on their autobahns. Running out of gas is a huge pain on modern fuel-injected engines.

Shit happens. It's how you take it that matters.

The first rule of leadership: Everything is your fault.
