Unthinkable

[beetiger]

When I was a little girl, I had a toy robot that was actually an eight track player. It came with trivia tapes and utilized the four tracks to let you press buttons to answer and get different responses. I also used to play my father's limited selection of regular eight-track tapes on it.

The main thing I remember listening to, over and over, was a tape of songs by Jim Croce. For some reason today, I've got these lyrics in my head:
You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger
And you don't mess around with Jim.

So my question to you all this afternoon is this: In your experience, what are some other things that you just don't do?

Don't let the sun go down on me, Bones.

(or, for Trekkies, Don't allow the proximal bright stellar object to fellate me, Dr. McCoy.)

Never set the cat on fire (or the dog, the snake, the gerbil, or the frog...)

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes.

Don't turn around, o no! The commissar's in town, oh oh!

Unfortunately here I run out of song lyrics and have to resort to proverbs;

Never play leapfrog with a unicorn.

Never tell a hyena how hard you can bite.

Oh and, of course;

Never get involved in a land war in Asia.

Never joke with a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ah ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha
