Great list luckiedog! Reminds me of the 3 rules given by the coach in Teenwolf:

never get less than 12 hours sleep, never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city and never go near a lady with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Everything else is cream cheese.

Great list! Here's another one... never shave your legs on the day you are going to the beach if you are getting in the water. Salt water rash... ouch. and... never take nude pic's/videos for your boyfriend... always a bad idea.
