Various "don't ..." rules
« on: November 14, 2008, 03:22:20 PM »
This turned up on a mailing list:

> Do not let novices edit /etc/mail/aliases.
> Don't pet a burning dog.
> ...

And of course I added a Canadian one:

: Don't eat yellow snow.

It occurred to me this might amuse folk here, along the lines of the "three little words" thread. Perhaps some expat-specific or China-specific ones?
