A saying my
late grandfather used to
say.
I derive from it that it means don't do something when you know the
outcome will be
bad. For instance,
logic tells you that if you
piss into the
wind, the wind will
blow the piss back onto you. Therefore, only someone who doesn't forsee the outcome of his current
situation will do this.
Hypothetical situation: You are playing
Quake on your
computer and your
machine dies. You
diagnose the
problem as being a bad
mobo. You don't have enough
money to buy an
Asus or like board, but you
can afford a
SpaceWalker. You can either A) Piss into the wind and get the SpaceWalker, or B) wait until
payday and get the Asus. Getting the spacewalker would let your system
boot, but you would have a
crappy mobo that doesn't
work. Getting the Asus (or other
good brand) would allow you to
play your
games again without the worry of
blue screens or
seg faults.
Hypothetical situation 2: You are
driving down the
road and realize that you are
hungry. There is a
Taco Bell in the immediate vicinity, and a
Red Lobster 5
miles away. You
know that if you
eat at Taco Bell you will get the
shits. Eating at Red Lobster would not cause this (In this situation you have enough money to eat at Red Lobster.) Do not piss into the wind in this situation unless you
enjoy stomach discomfort or extreme
anal leakage.
Remember these
words; not pissing into the wind is a very
wise thing.
