Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered… not yelled.
Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
Don’t judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life… Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
Don ‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around..
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to fate.
Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.
Most times, it just gets down to common sense[/font][/font][/font][/font][/color][/font][/size][/color]

best one, I'd also add Insurance agents

the first advice I give to anyone is avoid credit card debt and don't smoke cigarettes.

Skunks can't get the leverage to activate their sprayers unless their hind legs are on the ground. So the trick is to lift them by the tail just enough to pick their back legs up off of the dirt. Works every time.

My research was on compounds of the ilk skunks produce.  They were nearly all very stinky, some incredibly so.

I'm a bit surprised more animals don't use that defense mechanism.

There was e-mail/quote somewhere that the recipe(if it's to be called that) was from mortuaries,evidently this helped on corpses with decomposition.All I know is the next morning there was no smell.Maybe my vet sent that info to me

One smell from corpses is called cadaverine, no lie, and it smells like death. 

It's an amine compound unrelated to skunk scent.

Funny story. A few years back when I was building my garage, It was pretty much complete except for the garage door. We had an outdoor cat that I would feed at night, just enough to keep it alive. (He was a great mouser and didn't want to screw that up). When I fed him, I would push his bowl underneath a bench that had a shelve too low for the dog to get at, but plenty big enough for the cat. 

Anyway, one night I stepped out to fill the cats dish, reached under the shelve and grabbed the bowl. I felt my arm brush up against the cast. As I filled the bowl, I looked over and noticed the cat was sitting in the opening for the soon to be installed garage door. I grabbed a flashlight and looked under the shelve and there was a skunk looking back at me. And my dumb dog was laying in the floor next to it. It appeared, they were buddies. 

At that point, I sat the bowl of food down near the bench and went back into the house and let the skunk leave on his own. He was gone about an hour later. Needless to say, I got the garage door hung shortly thereafter.
