The Five Rules of Wisdom

“Always ask any questions that are to be asked and never answer any. Turn everything you hear to your own advantage. Always carry a repair outfit. Take left turns as much as possible. Never apply your front brake first.

‘If you follow them’, said the Sergeant, ‘you will save your soul and never get a fall on a slippery road.”

The Third Policeman is a mindfuck.

  1. Partly because Irish people just talk like that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiberno-English

    I didn’t understand Lost any better after reading it either.

  2. I agree with the “always have a repair outfit”. I always have an overnight bag in my trunk with some extra cloths. Depending on the situation I may have a pressed white or black button down on a hanger just in case the occasion becomes more formal.

    Best regards,
