Old Smarts

An Old Smart (OS) is a human being that uses common sense to live a long, happy life. When any OS learns something new they are happy to teach it to others.

Old Smart permanent orders are:
o Respect yourself and live so you deserve your respect.
o Respect others even when they don't deserve it.
o Mom's rule--use your manners, it is a requirement. Manners are what make us human and keeps us from being thumped behind the ear.
o God's Golden Rule. Read the Bible for instructions.
o Lying is not allowed, except in fishing stories.
o No cheating, so don't drop 5 aces. An OS is a skilled human not an artificial fool.
o Only insult if you are returning one. An OS is cunning enough to make an insult so sweet that the insulted thinks it is a compliment.
o Have fun win or lose. If you can't, don't be in this clan of jokesters.
o Be a fixer not a complainer.

Enforcement of orders is -First Strike, warning. -Second Strike, time out. -Third Strike or a Grave Offense, banishment.
