Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably the greatest political sage this country has ever known. Enjoy the following:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.


2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.


3. There are 2 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 in 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 puttin' it back.


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.

An early application of the electric fence was developed in 1936–1937 by New Zealand inventor William "Bill" Gallagher Snr. Built from a car's ignition coil and a meccano set, Gallagher used the device to keep his horse from scratching itself against his car. Gallagher later started a company to improve and market his invention. Today the Gallagher Group of companies is still heavily involved in electric fencing for livestock control.

The concept of the electric fence was first described in Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, in 1889, as a defensive weapon.

Electric fences were used to control stock in the United States in the early 1930's, and developed further in both the United States and New Zealand.

I don't think they would have been using electric fences in the 20's but they might have known about them.

It's kind of funny to back away from this discussion and imagine what Will Roger would have to say about our newest invention The Internet if he could say so much about a state of the art invention like The Electric Fence.
I mean... just imagine an electric fence being state of the art. It's only about 2 steps above The Wheel IMO.

I wonder Buck Rogers would have to say about all this?

I could only think a few. Anyone else?

1. Never flame a man who's obviously smarter than you.


2. Never copy and paste internet news stories


3. There are 2 theories to arguing on the internet...neither works.


4. Never miss a good chance to reboot.


5. Always drink upstream from the herd.


6. If you find yourself in a loop, reboot.


7. The quickest way to double your money is to delete that e-mail from Nigeria.


8. There are three kinds of users: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by screwing up their computers. The rest of them have to call the help desk in India 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.

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 fingers aways from the keyboard.
