I wouldn’t dare defile Douglas Adam’s memory by not mentioning that you should keep a towel with you at all times, but my second contender is a surprisingly short three-parter:

  1. never lie.
  2. never tell the whole truth.
  3. never pass up a chance to use a real bathroom.

    Whenever possible phrase a question in a way that can be answered in one word.

    That’s a good one! I would also add: When asked a question, determine whether this question can be properly answered in one word. If possible do it!

    This is particularly directed at my wife 💋

      Excellent, I’m going to add to this, even if the the answer justifies/requires an explanation put the answer first ie “Yes, long explanation” is vastly superior to “Long explanation, so yes”
