My dad taught me lots of useful things. I really appreciate this. I don't know if other people's dads don't teach them these things, or if most kids just don't listen. Some of them he said, some of them he just showed me by example.
*You can't always get what you want. (Cause if you did, you know, you'd be spoiled, you know.)
*All the traffic problems are caused by old men in hats and old ladies with blue hair.
*The first step is to admit the pain.
*Always cross at the crosswalk.
*You should use your head for something other than a hat rack.
*Fix things yourself, figure things out, find a way to get it done - but know when it's time to call in a professional.
*You'll catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
*Maybe this is the last show.
*If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
*When all else fails, read the directions.

The first step is to admit the pain and maybe this is the last show have intrigued me! Care to elaborate?
the first step is to admit the pain... well, i mean, the principle being that you can't do anything about a problem until you recognize it exists. however, dad generally says it when we're not in pain and pretends that we're in denial when we say we aren't - like freud.
maybe this is the last show is what he would say during every episode of star trek, when it got scary. even when we'd seen the reruns a zillion times and the series was over and we knew which one WAS the last show. he also pretends to think movies may end differently when re-viewed.
