So, I have been reading a lot of Hamlet and frankly I've begun to think that it's driving me mad. While my mother was looking around at fun things on the internet she stumbled across a picture. Here is the list of Ten Things I've Learned From Shakespeare.
- Never poke your sword in a moving arras, since you'll end up killing your girlfriend's dad.
- Always leave a fair gap between a funeral and a wedding, otherwise people will whinge that you're serving up leftovers.
- If you suspect your lover has committed suicide, get a proper medical opinion before doing anything rash, as they may be in some sort of coma.
- Don't believe prophecies, as they can be highly misleading. Forests, for example, can shift location for a whole load of reasons, global warming being merely the most recent.
- It's dumb to handover all your assets to your kids after you retire. They may turn nasty. Before you know it, you'll be forced to cut back on what size of your retinue, and who needs that when you're 80?
- Love is blind.
- The leek is an inherently funny vegetable.
- When making love to someone in a darkened room, have a chat first because it's amazingly easy to end up having sex with the wrong person.
- If giving an official present to the King of England, try to do better than a set of tennis balls, otherwise it may cause a war.
- A good reason to depart any locality is that you are being pursued by a bear.

If you are a fan of Shakespeare you might find this rather hilarious. Otherwise, like me, some of this might confuse you. I hope you can still get some humor out of this. I also hope that you like this as much as I do, and thank for reading.
