Fifteen things not to do at Atlantis

Rodney

I will not continue on conversations with myself after everyone has left the room.

I will not touch strange objects in strange places, without first consulting Sheppard, Teyla, Carson or Elizabeth.

I will listen to others under my command, as they may have something valid to say.

I will run when others tell me too or are seen running away from the place in question.

I will not wake col. Sheppard up at 3am to use his super powers; he is likely to let me get shot the next time.

I will not wake up Dr. Beckett up at 3am to use his super powers; he is likely to jab me with big needles.

I will not tease Elizabeth Weir about not having the ATA gene; she is likely to put me on training sessions with Ronon.

I will not insinuate that Ronon is sexually deprived, or that Teyla is still available.

I will not tease anyone about being dumber than I am, even if it is true.

I will not teach other races how to make atom, nuclear or hydrogen bombs, even if it is for destroying the wraith.

I will not tease Sheppard about asking Dr Weir out. It will lead to pain in the end.

I will not assume that everything I do is correct or that I have all the answers, I have been wrong before and will be again.

I will stop talking when Elizabeth starts to rub her temples during briefings. Elizabeth in pain Problems for everyone else Pain for me.

I will learn to shut up and keep quite when being held hostage.

I will not assume that everybody is stupid and I will not look down on them. One day I may need them to save my life.
