-- Posted by the seer at 4:36 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 "A word to the wise" i never understood this saying, because the wise arn't the ones who need the advise, and the un-wise arn't likley to listen. so that being said  unless someone asks for your advise why give it because otherwise you word will either be not needed or ignored. -- Posted by Courtannnny at 4:37 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 The meaning being, if you are wise, you will listen. -- Posted by snowfish at 4:38 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 you would be wise to heed the words said. I hate that the IF doesn't value succinctness.
