Tenets of Charlie Tuna

I’m not Mother Teresa; I’m here for a profit.

You can’t run a whorehouse without any whores.

Get your ducks in a row before you pull the trigger.

Pay for the mic, say what you want (as Reagan said to Bush during a debate, “I paid for this microphone”).

Don’t crowd the mourners (a reference to not overstepping your boundaries).

Don’t offend my sense of logic.

Play stupid and see what you can learn (go play Mickey the Dunce).

Don’t be backward about going forward.

When you woke up today, what did you tell yourself?

Tire-kickers are like leeches, they suck your time.

Once the toothpaste is out of the tube, you can’t put it back in.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

Cheap is always the most expensive option.

Do what you say you are going to do.

Gutter money is good money.
