<p><b>New page</b></p><div>"Do not act incautiously when confronting little bald wrinkly smiling men!" A favorite saying of the [[History Monks|History Monk]] [[Lu-Tze]].<br />
<br />
Some of the other rules:<br />
*'''Rule 2''' - "Never refuse a weapon"<br />
*'''Rule 3''' - "Be afraid when you are in possession of a deadly weapon and face an unarmed man in a pose of submission"<br />
*'''Rule 19''' - "Always remember Rule One and ask yourself, why was it created in the first place"<br />
<br />
==Annotations==<br />
In the Doctor Who serial ''The Ribos Operation'', The Fourth Doctor (played by Tom Baker) is forced to take a fellow Time Lord, Romana, as an assistant in an assignment. Disgruntled, he insists on ground rules, the first of which is 'Do exactly as I say'. Later in the same episode, challenged by Romana for his antics, he merely says "Remember Rule One!"<br />
<br />
There is or used to be a variant of this in football, of which Sir Alex Ferguson could usefully be reminded.<br />
<br />
*'''''Rule One''''' The referee is always right.<br />
*'''''Rule Two''''' In the event of the referee ever being wrong, refer to Rule One. <br />
<br />
Schoolteachers and mothers are also fond of adapting this variant for their own ends.<br />
