A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

Your friends love you anyway.

Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
