I wouldn’t dare defile Douglas Adam’s memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:

  2. never tell the whole truth.
  3. never pass up a chance to use a real bathroom.

      “Fast” is the biggest number in a straight line. Life rarely offers straight lines.

          It’s true, but you need the skill, and buying an expensive car will only get you so far.
