"Never Squat With Your Spurs On!" - Will Rogers (Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot, Wiley Post, was one of the greatest political/country/cowboy sages ever known.) Some of his sayings: 1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco. 2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. 3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works. 4. Never miss a good chance to shut up. 5. Always drink upstream from the herd. 6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. 7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket. 8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves. 9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. 10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there. 11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n than puttin' it back in. 12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.The moral : When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut

I think he may have influenced Yogi Berra, though Yogi got the syntax and logic a little mixed up.

I have been fond of #8 since I first read it. Truth.

Will Rogers was a great asset to this nation. He had the ear of people of all persuasions. Several of his movies are available on DVD, but alas are not PC/racist. They costar his friend Stepin Fetchit.

Wasn't one of his most famous quotes, "I never met a man I didn't like"? Or do I have this mixed up with someone else, or it's a complete fabrication. Of course the response was often, "well obviously never met so and so".
