The best way to knock the chip off
your neighbor's shoulder
is to pat him on the back.

BUT if your enemy is hungry, feed him,
and if he is thirsty, give him a drink,
for in so doing, you will
heap burning coals on his head.
~ Romans 12:20
NOTE! - while burning coals on your head does NOT sound very neighborly, in Bible times, if you gave your neighbor burning coals, he/she would put them on a pot, and carry the pot on their head, to take the coals home to start their own fire. So, heaping burning coals on a neighbor's head was considered very kind!)
