Break Some Rules

Life is short. Too short to follow every rule or trend that comes along. 

Sometimes the rules just aren't right and the trends are idiotic.

Who makes all these rules anyhow? 
And why are we compelled to follow them?


I didn't break the rules
The rules were already broken
when I got here. 

"They're more what you'd call 
guidelines than actual rules."
 - Jack Sparrow

I try not to break the rules but merely
to test their elasticity.”
- Bill Veeck

Let's do some 
We shouldn't be doing this”
things!
