Is there any greater piece of advice for living than "Don't assume everyone shares your sense of humor"?

If at first you don't succeed, in with the boot and then the heid.

A wise man thinks twice before saying nothing.

"Don't dish it out if you can't take it" probably a better one. It is a good piece of advice though.

How about "be able to take it, but never dish it out," which is my personal philosophy on that matter.

never assume that others are making the same assumptions you are
-fred copington

how about never take out your dishes.

"When you presume, you make the pres out of you and me." Considering who the current pres is, that's harsher than being an ass.

don't be a quitter, hit her in the shitter

^^^not really my sense of humor but it's a cheeky blakk line.

Problem with this is it seems to give carte blanche to the thick-skinned and insensitive to be dicks.

They're going to take that anyway, that's why they call 'em insensitive and thick skinned.

treat others as shittily as you treat yourself

A fair point, Michael.

Don't rush to get grown, drive slow homie

Maybe "do as you would be done to" is better, then.

Try to have a sense of humor k?

yes, carte blanche. that's why we have fair, transparent and reasonable moderation policies

'eat your vegetables' is pretty good

I like the combination of "don't be a dick" and "if someone tells you you're being a dick, they're pretty much always right".

You're being a dick.

says the biggest dick on this whole board, mind you.

dick

The ladies don't seem to mind.

i'm imagining that in barry white surround sound. trippy.

darraghmac, stop flirting with Noodle - he married bro

don't assume everybody shares your sense of humour man

"Don't dish it out if you can't take it" gives me, being thick skinned and insensitive, carte blanche to be a dick. so says Michael Jones. nya.

Avoid people who don't share your sense of humor.

sub-point of this thread that I realized today: Don't assume people you have just met will appreciate your sarcasm, especially when it's the first thing out of your mouth.

In answer to the original question: yes.
