Advice is like a White Elephant gift. You can give it away and you can receive it, but it may not always be appreciated. Sometimes it’s just thrown out like that package of green bologna you bought back in February. But occasionally, you hear good, sound advice. What you do with it is up to you.
Like when a flight attendant advises you how to properly use the oxygen mask if there’s a loss of cabin pressure. The recent incident with a Southwest Airlines jet revealed via social media that many passengers apparently did not listen to the flight attendant. Instead of placing the mask over their nose and mouth, a few folks had their masks just over their mouths. Did these people forget that the nose is for something besides hanging jewelry from? I doubt any of these mouth-breathers had ever crawled under a house to retrieve a decomposing skunk or they’d have known to cover both their mouth and nose.
Y’all have all seen warning labels on a product advising you what not to do with it. Some labels are helpful, like the one on a certain prescription bottle that advised me to “not to drink alcohol while taking this medication”. Unless you enjoy having vertigo, seeing pink dragons and falling asleep on the toilet, you might want to follow this advice.
