The Best Advice Your Elders Ever Gave You

Yeah, my old junior school teacher used to tell us all that one. She'd say "There's no such word as `can't`, you either choose or choose not to do something" with the obvious subtext that choosing not to do something was not an option.

Was your teacher about three foot high, green with big ears?

'You can do anything if you put your mind to it'

I disproved this within minutes - I'm unable to levitate, be invisible or teleport, total rubbish.

you haven't worked hard enough. I can do the levitating bit with the aid of a couple of magnets. Scientists have teleported matter, only a matter of time before they manage it with larger items!!! I belive that invisibility is something that scientists are trying to find a way to do as well.

As me dear Aunt Maud used to say.... beneath every pony tail, there's an arsehole

My father in law to be told me a few days before I married his daughter, that every day when I come home from work and I see my wife waiting at the doorstep with the slippers I should slap her once firmly over the side of her face. I might not know why I did it, but she would know. She would have done something that day to deserve it.

Although he also told me " In my family we have no divorces. We have a few widows though."

Very nice guy.
