After being shot in the leg, make sure you take some Prozac with coffee before seeing the doctor (to keep from going crazy and falling asleep).
If you were raped to death, cannibalized and then made into a jacket, be grateful; things could have been worse.

Learning to curse in mispronounced Chinese is of minimal value when attempting to communicate with friendly Chinese-speaking people.
Learning to read the Chinese characters for various curse words is of no value when in a Chinese restaurant... though it could be and that's value enough.

I thought of a few more:

Hmmm. I'm not sure how to phrase the related lesson(s).
There's no sound in space when Joss is directing, but there is sound when Tim is directing.
-or-
I learned that there's no sound in space, but Tim didn't.

From “Jaynestown”:
If you really want to spend a night with an expensive, certified Companion, just let your uptight father think you’re gay. He’ll fork out the cash.
Just because you own lots of mud and have a moon named after you doesn’t mean the Companion will be interested in YOU.
Somewhere, there’s a crappy town where YOU’RE a hero.
After a night of heavy drinking, if you wake up with a pretty mechanic lying on top of you, give her a gentle kiss, smile at her, and say, “Good morning.” Don’t get all flustered and loudly proclaim before an audience that you’d never want to bed her. This will only ruin the moment.
But if you DO say something that stupid, then arrange to get your ass kicked by a brutish thug. At least, she’ll feel sorry for you and call you “darling”.
An unschooled thug who steals and shoots people for a living gets laid more regularly than a proper doctor being chased by a beautiful mechanic.
A living legend needs his eggs.
You protect the man you're with. You watch his back. Unless there’s a LOT of money involved. Then you improvise.
If Bugs isn’t around, you can get Jayne to handle Yosemite Sam.
Mudders make good shields.
Scary hair cannot get you if you hide in a dark closet.
But the hair will always be there… waiting.
Being proper don’t mean nuthin’ out in the Black… except to Simon.

It's been in limbo for a season. Just thought it's about time to resurrect what may be the greatest thread ever.

I've been thinking of a few. It's not quite 10 though. I wonder how long it will be before we run out of lessons from Firefly?
- You don't have to care where you're going, coz how you get there's the worthier part.
- When given the choice between a lecture and dinner accept the dinner, lepers have a habit of putting you off your food.
- Strawberries can get you in the good books of a cute mechanic.
- Many things can be said useing just your eyes, pay attention or you might not get the cance to die of old age before the bullet finds you.
- You just gotta have faith in people.
- Jayne's a very up person.
If nothing we do means anything then the only thing that means anything is what we do.

Hey there, long time Bronzer, no time fireflyfans (fire flans?) poster:
1. Pompus doctors are great at being sarcastic.
2. Crazy people are always there in the clinch.
3. Never call a whore a whore.
4. They don't like it when you shoot at them.
5. If you know a foreign language you can swear without being beeped.
6. Pompus doctors look nice topless.
7. Pompus doctors are handy to have around.
8. Pompus doctors are the best criminal masterminds.
9. Captain Tightpants looks damn nice as a paramedic.
10. Aramina is slightly attracted to the entire male main cast, Shepherds not withstanding.
Hmm...this post seems to have taken a bit of a turn for the less than academic.
