Rules of Thumb: Dew's book of anecdotes and wisdom

Dew's Book of Thumb

Following are quotes from a little blue book aptly called "The Book of Thumb". Inside, etched on every page were quotes or quips taken from the memory of two special friends of mine before I left them to brave the world outside Canberra.
I thought I would immortalise them for the future generations.

Disclaimer: Many of these quotes are taken from TV or film. Don't copy them without asking "The Powers That Be".
