When in doubt, Throw the Halfling

A Barbaric proverb, stemming from Dungeons and Dragons, Implying that when the obvious fails, do something unexpected, the saying apparently started as an inside joke but now has spread to the general geek/RPG community

DM: There appears to be a secret door in that wall
Druid: *throws rock*
DML Nothing happens
Druid: Come on guys lets go
Barbarian: Can I throw the Halfling at it?
Rogue(hafling):NOOOOOOOO
DM: sure
Rogue: Noooooo
Barbarian: To late, I get annitiative
DM the door opens and the halfing takes 2 points of damage
Barbarian: When in doubt, throw the Halfling

when in doubt, whip it out

Common slang umong military enlisted to salute an approaching person in uniform when uncertain of their rank. Better to be safe than sorry. More common with the NAVY as Chief Petty Officers have gold anchors on their collars and are often mistaken for gold oak leafs (signifying a Lieutenant Commander or Major).

Bill- "Don't look now, but here comes an officer"
Larry-"No, it looks like a Chief Petty Officer from here"
Bill-"When in doubt, whip it out. Better to be on the safe side then to ignore him if he was an officer".
Larry-"You're right"

*Both saluting-"Good morning sir".

when in doubt won't

Stubbornly resolute rendition of when in doubt don't. Advice you wish you had listened to a couple weeks after

If only when in doubt won't was considered moral morrows wouldn't have withered.
