Rule One is: Whatever you're telling people, tell them it's Rule One. Don't ever say Rule Two. Never works. Or Rule Three. You just get looks. And don't talk to me about Rule Four. If you say, for example, "Quick, duck before that Robot Samurai Decapitator Unit can decapitate you - it's Rule Four!" chances are, people will just blink at you and ask, "Well, what are Rules One, Two and Three, then?" And you say, "Never mind, you're about to be decapitated! Rule Four: duck!" And they say, "Yeah, I understand, but I'm just wondering, given how important Rule Four sounds, what on Earth could be in Rules One, Two and - oh! Why am I suddenly on the floor, upside down? And why is that headless body about to fall on me?" So everything's Rule One. That's Rule One. Because saving lives is more important than a strict numbering policy for rules. That's also Rule One.
The Doctor, as quoted by Steven Moffat in Doctor Who Magazine #483 after an interviewer asked how "Don't go wandering off", "The Doctor lies", and "Use your enemies' power against them" could all be Rule One.

Number One: Smoking outside the administration building will only be allowed during lunch periods. Number Two: The girls' showering facilities will moved from the locker room into my inner office, where I can watch the girls wash their breasts and buttocks while I play with myself. Number Three: While showering, none of the girls will be allowed to snicker or laugh at the size of my genitalia. Eye contact with me is also prohibited. Number Four: Girls are encouraged to wash each other freely as I build towards orgasm. Number Five: While I am ejaculating, the boys gymnastic team must undress each other, spread eagle in front of me and satisfy each other orally until I have completed ejaculating. Finally, Rule Number Six: Any student caught writing graffiti or defacing school property will be automatically suspended, unless they are masturbating.
