Well, I'm have this picture of a friend of mine where he's posing as a
preacher in a church, and I figured that I should have it framed and give it
to his son. If I just could add some suitable words to the picture it would
be hilarious. "Do as I do, not as I say" fits perfect, since my friend is a
bit of a hypocrite. He drinks and smokes pot, but certanly does not want his
son to do. Catch my drift? But it's a bit banal to just put it in plain
english, thus my question. My friends is from USA, while I'm from Sweden,
that's why I need help. I wanna suprise him with the "advanced" words.

Sounds awesome! Eventhough I don't understand half of it. Can someone
confirm if this is any good?
