Currently: The Only List of Icebreaker Questions You’ll Ever Need (Not all of which will be used, since some are either/or questions, which are boring.)
Your mission: answer the question in the comments with a good story.
If you don’t have a good story, you are encouraged to make one up.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
It’s either “wear your seatbelt” (which has saved my life a couple of times) or “don’t try to beat the stock market, settle for a tie by buying Index Funds”.
Also, “don’t try to have the last sign on the moon, you’ll only die tired”.
Duck!
Vi a duck?
Well, one of the best, anyway:
“Read up on gambling odds.”
“Dude. No.”
“Watch out where the huskies go and don’t you eat that yellow snow”
Eff em all.
Also “Always tell her she’s beautiful, especially if she isn’t.” RA Heinlein
Best advice I’ve ever taken.
I don’t have time to list all the good advice I haven’t taken
“Real life is not the movies.”
“Come with me if you want to live.”
“You’ll hate the Ewoks.”
“Yeah, it’s a good price, but let’s see if Betamax takes off first.”
So were you about to buy Beta or VHS?
…”Trust the aliens they are saying the truth”.
When the van is a rockin’ don’t come a knockin’
“You won’t like the Army,” my dad.
(Heeding the advice wasn’t specified; later I got my dad to laugh out loud by asking for his advice and saying (when he said I didn’t have to ask permission —I was grown [which was nice to hear]) “Yeah, but the last I didn’t listen to you I wound up in the Army.”)
Yes, he had served.

last time (forest trees).
Don’t try to have the last sign on the moon, you’ll only die tired. That’s what I’ve been telling Oppo and walruskkkch but they just don’t seem to believe me.
Every man dies not every man truly gets the last sign on the moon!
