Rules of the Road

It is funny what odd insights you can collect moving through this life.  Sometimes you’re not even aware that you’ve learned something until you find yourself repeating a pattern of behaviour.  If it’s a behaviour that’s useful I try and remember it.  And so I collect what I consider my rules of the road.

That was how I discovered the rule of liver.  You see when I was on the road and stopped into a restaurant, if I was considering having it I noticed that I would ask the person taking my order whether they liked liver themselves.  If they shuddered and said no then I wrote it off as a bad gamble.  However if they said yes I would ask them whether they would eat the liver as it was cooked here.  It was amazing how often I was warned off.  And just as amazing was that if they said it was good I was never disappointed.  Nope, not once.  And so was born one of my rules of the road.  The one about liver.

Of course for some people liver has a different rule.

Lips that touch liver shall never touch mine.
