Don't stick your dick in crazy. I didn't listen.

Elaborate, if I may ask?

It means don't get messed up with a crazy disordered girl who acts subhuman, because the sex is usually lights out.

"I never wanted you and couldn't afford an abortion. Life is shit and it only gets worse when you're older. Now fuck off."

I think I was 6 or 7, and it was on Christmas day my 'mother' said that to me. Sounds like I'm joking, but no. That's the "best" advice my parent ever gave me.

Why was that good advice

That's tough to hear, even on here. Sometimes people say things because they are hurting and want you to experience their pain. It's what she knew.

Pay back anything loaned to you as soon as possible.

To be frugal in my daily living. Mind you, this advice was given to me in my late 40's, 15 years into a mortgage, having never bought a new car, or spent a single day on vacation. By a parent that owns 2 homes, and spends her winters on the beach. Or to say, I can think of no instance where my parents ever gave me a single word of actual advice.

Edit: Changed lease to mortgage

"Life is choices. You make your choices and you live with the consequences."

"God put a limit on intelligence but no limit on stupidity."

"It always comes back to the money."

"The world runs on bullshit" - With regards to this one, he used to always yell at the news on TV. I used to think he was a little crazy but now that I'm older I see what he saw and I too now yell at the news! Feels good!

My parents are retarded so nothing

Nothing good happens after midnight

Honestly, they offered so much bad, useless, or out-dated advice that I can't attribute any good to them in that regard.

Never disobey the Bible unless you want to burn in hell for all eternity. Also the jews killed Jesus.

You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose.
