ALWAYS make sure both parties are single before playing matchmaker.

ALWAYS make sure that a cane is not really a gun.

ALWAYS watch where you're going if you happen to be in the same room as a bearskin rug.

Tiny bathrooms were not designed for a private conversation for three.

Little chairs were not designed to hold grown men.

The youngest member of the household is usually the wisest.

Late night conversations over milk and cookies will always cheer a person up. :D

Always make sure the door doesn't close behind you (or you might get locked in a room with the brash German housekeeper). :lol:

Don't let Kraus near the control board for the school play. :lol:

WATCH out if Taylor/Clayton starts being nice to you. It's never a good sign.

Bring a pillow if Gov. Gatling starts telling a long, boring, pointless story.

Don't let Gov. Gatling try to write his own speeches.

Pete REALLY doesn't like his ex-wife. :lol:

Don't eat anything Katie made all by herself.

Why knock yourself out doing a school project when Kraus and Marcy can do it for you?

NEVER trust beautiful women with red hair and blue eyes who wear lots of lip gloss.

If you're pregnant, make sure you never go near an elevator or a run-down shack in the middle of a blizzard. That is where you are sure to go into labor. :eek:

NEVER dress up as the Sugar Plum Fairy with real sugar cubes - unless you want to be eaten by horses. :eek:

Always watch out for the dogs.
The governor is really a smart guy but he's just scatterbrained.
You can't have lactose-intolerance and be on the show.
If you eat anything that Katie made herself you will ether start gagging on the spot or come down with acid-reflux afterwards.:eek:

If you can't sleep, come down to the kitchen. Chances are you'll find someone sitting at the table drinking milk.

Never take Pete out to lunch, and never watch while he's eating. It ain't pretty!

++++

If you want to have a private conversation, don't have it while Marcy's nearby!

Always watch you are going lest you and all your friends trip over a bearskin rug.

Grown men look very silly in child-size chairs.

Adorable little blond girls enjoy KISS.

Kraus' dogs are almost as scary as she is.

Elevators are not places where you want to give birth.

For a very good reason, Clayton was very sensitive about his nose. pinoc:

A long winded story doesn't have to be true, as long as it makes a point.

If you don't want the trash cans turned over and mashed, don't set them anywhere near Pete's parking spot. :eat:

Denise had really nice teeth. :D :rolleyes:

Mrs. Kraus was capable of being nice, when she wanted to be.

Katie didn't really hate Clayton, she just liked him less than other people.

And going out to catch a movie barefooted can be awkward, if not down right painful. :(

Fireside Chats are not a good idea. :rofl:

Never get into a fight with your boyfriend while holding cue cards, but it may end up in an engagement. :love:

Never spell "judgment" with two "e"s. :rofl:

Always have a goofy smile ready for the cameras!! (Clayton)

Cassandra Turner is very scary. :eek: :rofl:

Never let Pete stay with you after his ex-wife kicks him out.

If you and your lady friend want privacy, forget your apartments and go to a hotel - hopefully no one from the staff will barge in!!

Smitty's is THE place to go if you want to get lucky - most of the time. (Pete)

A fellow (Clayton) can shave off his mustache one week and it's completely grown back the next. I can't grow a halfway decent one even if I don't shave for a full year. :(

Only on television. :rolleyes:

Benson and Governor Gatling will always be close no matter who wins the election. (series finale)
