Have you ever noticed how the world would be such a better place if people just did what we wanted them to do--or didn't do what we didn't want them to do? My List of Don'ts is my humble attempt to improve the world I live in. Perhaps it will improve your world as well.

The CARDINAL DON'T: Don't be such a fucking pussy!

#23: Don't honk at pedestrians

There's a species of person in the South who feels that people have no right to travel on foot. Having never ventured out of their home state, they think those who walk from one place to the next--often known as pedestrians--have a whole lot of fucking nerve. So when such people happen to perambulate in the path of their vehicles, they either try to kill them, or, a la Homer Simpson, they lay on their horn, while outraged spittle slides down their chins.

And I say unto these people: Take a trip to someplace other than Sea World. See that in many cities walking is a perfectly normal, even preferable, mode of transportation. And recognize the fact that, yea, even ye shall at some point in your sedentary life have to park your minivan--no doubt illegally in a handicapped space--and waddle your lazy ass across a parking lot, if only to get into the Wal-Mart store.
