The rules are there are no rules. - Aristotle Onassis

In the first season of Fargo there's a memorable scene where Billy Bob Thornton's character reveals to Martin Freeman's perpetually downtrodden one a big secret of life. "Your problem is you spent your whole life thinking there are rules. There aren't," he explains. Martin's naive character is stunned by the revelation. Most of us probably began to realize that there is at least some truth to this claim as far back as high school, if not sooner. Once we entered the real world we witnessed time after time how many people pull ahead of the crowd by simply ignoring the rules the rest cling to.
