Merc: Judge Not lest ye be judged, is not condemnation.....it is simply fact. If someone really loves ya, they'll judge compassionately & you should expect the same in return. You Learn to Love from those you Love.

"Rule of Thumb" is derived from Medieval English Law. It seems some husbands were abusing their wives, & being too harsh with them. The courts stepped in and codified "Rule of Thumb" henceforth no man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick larger than the circumference of the thumb.  |

Since I'm a baseball lover in part because so much of the language and lessons learned in competition are applicable to "life, love and looting" - per the Captain Morgan rum commercials that I also love so well - this expression is one I use frequently - as can be attested by those who know me well: "You win some, you lose some and some are called on accounta rain - but ya gotta dress for 'em all."

Several years ago I was delivering some stabilization tools to a drilling rig @ around 3:00 am.I had to get the company man to sign my del-sheet.About a week earlier the same c-man and I got into a good fight hence we hated each other.I loudly knocked on the door waking up his sorry carcas.The bastard opens his living quarter door steps into the office and yells come on in,my reply was wake up asshole I got some tickets for you to sign.He signed the first one and starts to go back then I say you have another one to sign.He then angrilly says"your paperwork is about to drive me to jacking off".
I guess its an oilfield expression,since then I have heard it a few more times,but damn it was funny
