81. Three Little Words (Four)

Robert Frost once said, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about driving:  staying awake helps.

  4. nice list. The most important is the first. :) (I can get a good night's sleep and still be drowsy while driving. One of the reasons I like to stop frequently and take pictures.)

    Great job

  6. Staying awake = important. But love "Wine: helpful social lubricant" but wine helps with everything, IMO!!!

  7. I liked religion and hoarding from your list. Also, I disagreed with Proofreading not being necessary. Typos annoy me to bits, and clarification is definitely important in a text, something that might not come through an unproofed text. Just saying.

    But good post. An entertaining read.

    1. thanks! I actually put the one about proofreading as a joke (implying that it IS necessary), hence the two misspellings: "not realy neccesary".

    Numbers: they never lie.
