Special Agent Gibbs will often impart his wisdom and experience by quoting from a set of numbered rules. Although some rule numbers have more than one rule. May`be Gibbs can`t count. Give yourself a Gibbs head smack: Gibbs!
1: Never let suspects stay together / Never screw over your partner.
2: Always wear gloves at a crime scene.
3: Don't believe what you're told. Double check / Never be unreachable.
4: If you have a secret, the best thing is to keep it to yourself. The second-best is to tell one other person if you must. There is no third-best.
7: Always be specific when you lie.
8: Never take anything for granted.
9: Never go anywhere without a knife.
11: When a job is done, walk away.
12: Never date a co-worker.
13: Never, ever involve lawyers.
15: Always work as a team.
18: It's better to seek forgiveness than ask permission.
22: Never, ever bother Gibbs in interrogation.
23: Never mess with a Marine's coffee if you want to live.
38: Your case, your lead.
There is also the classic, Gibb`s most quoted rule.This rule has no number : "Never say you're sorry, it's a sign of weakness"
Of course there are exceptions to every rule. For example Rule 23: if you were to mess with a Marines coffee, NOT saying you are sorry might be seen as a sign of stupidity.
Rule 9: "Never go anywhere without a knife." Should be ignored when passing thru airport security checks.
