He was self-employed as a drainage contractor for decades. He taught me about bidding a job: "You can shear a sheep 10 times,  but skin it only once."Taking advantage of the situation -If a fight is inevitable be sure to get in the first lick,  and make it a good one. The fight may be over before it gets going.  Drinking -If you are going to drink on the job drink whiskey. That way the boss can smell it and know you are drunk,  and not just stupid. If you are going to be drinking a lot,  drink gin or vodka. Your liver never sees it go by.</blockquote>
