The Gospel According to Fred Flintstone

Who
would have thunk it? Amid all his arguments with Barney, his
collisions with Dino and his encounters with The Great Gazoo, Fred
Flintstone was teaching us something.

And
while the Federal Communications Commission doesn’t view Fred’s
lessons in values as Educational programming, chances are you walked
away from the carton with more than you thought you did.

Here
are some of the lessons we learned from the Modern Stone-Aged Family:

• Never
  underestimate the strength of a child.

• Never
  bet more than you have.

• Wealthy
  oil men drive big cars.

• Pets
  make excellent companions.

• It
  is possible to have pollution-free cars.

• Never
  leave a child unattended.

• Household
  appliances have minds of their own.

• Never
  put too many items on a drive-in tray.

• Carpooling
  can work.

• It’s
  always a good idea to remember your anniversary.

• The
  little guy can beat the system.

• Good
  stone walls make good neighbors.

• Expectant
  fathers do crazy things.

• Friendship
  is important.

These
are just a few Flintstone philosophies off the top of my head. If
anyone can think of any more, feel free to leave them in the
comments. Thanks for reading.
