You can lead a horse to water,
but a pencil must be lead.
Be nice to your kids; one day theyll choose your nursing home. A truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn. Divorce is the past tense of marriage. Always look out for #1...but don't step in #2 either. If your parents didn't have any children, chances are you wont either. All generalizations are false. Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. I used to think I was indecisive--but now I'm not so sure. Things are more like they are today than they ever have been before. He who laughs last thinks slowest! A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water. If I'm not back in 5 minutes wait longer... The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it. If you can't ignore it, top it. If you can't top it, laugh at it. If you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved. If people behaved like governments, you'd call the cops. If it's free, it's advice; if you pay for it, it's counselling; if you can use either one, it's a miracle. Character is what you are. Reputation is what people think you are. Nobody will ever win the battle of the sexes. There's too much fraternising with the enemy. People today vacation in places you formerly got to only by being drafted or shipwrecked. Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker. I have several hobbies I enjoy to the fullest. I have a large sea shell collection I keep scattered on all the beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen it? A loser is a window washer on the 44th floor who steps back to admire his work. A man usually feels better after a few winks, especially if she winks back. Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate. A baby first laughs at the age of four weeks. By that time his eyes focus well enough to see you clearly. A man who says marriage is a 50-50 proposition doesnt understand two things: 1 - Women, 2 - Fractions. If you have trouble going to sleep at night, lie at the very edge of the bed ... youll soon drop off. The careful application of terror is also a form of communication. The more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets. The facts, although interesting, are irrelevant. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on. If at first you dont succeed ... well so much for sky diving. Ever notice that the Jolly Green Giant stands around laughing his head off while the little people do all the work canning vegetables!? Did you ever walk into a room and forget why you walked in? I think that's how dogs spend their lives. Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods. Cats have never forgotten this. Don't worry about the world ending today...It's already tomorrow in Australia. The average time between throwing something away and needing it badly is about two weeks. The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised. Anarchy is better than no government at all. Sometimes I feel like Im caught between a dog and a fire hydrant. My wife is incredibly immature. Tell me if you don't think this is immature - she'll come into the bathroom when I'm in the tub, just barge right in, sink all of my boats... I can levitate birds but nobody cares. Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change. 3/4 of Canadians make up 75% of the population. If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished! Oil spills give new meaning to the phrase "from sea to shining sea." The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was. The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. Psychiatrists say that 1 of 4 people are mentally ill. Check 3 friends. If they're okay, you're it. EARTH FIRST! Well strip mine the other planets later. There ought to be a law against Murphy's Laws Those who cannot remember the past will spend a lot of time looking for their cars in mall parking lots A road map will tell us everything we need to know... Except how to fold it up again. Wow! This car sure has starting power! It went from zero to a 50 dollar fine in a matter of seconds! It may be your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning. Its a small world, but I wouldnt want to have to paint it. I think its wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly. Nothing is harder on a womans clothes than another woman. The true length of a minute is determined by which side of the bathroom door you are on. Falls dont kill people. Its the deceleration trauma. Money isnt everything, but at least it encourages relatives to stay in touch. It is not what a teenager knows that bothers his parents, it is how he found out. This sentence no verb. I hate talking cars. A voice out of nowhere says things like, "Your door is ajar." Why don't they say something really useful, like "Theres a state trooper hiding behind that bush?" Nothing in the world can replace the modern swimsuit, and it practically has. People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because its safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs. My wife claims Im a baseball fanatic. She says all I ever read about is baseball. All I ever talk about is baseball. All I ever think about is baseball. I told her shes way off base. If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did." I was standing on the windowsill of my sixth floor flat the other day. I thought to myself, "One slip, and its curtains. And if I fall the other way, Ill be dead." When I grow up, I want to be Peter Pan. The future isnt what it used to be. I never repeat gossip, so please listen carefully the first time
. Have you ever seen......... ...a home run? ...a kitchen sink? ...a rubber band? ...a cigar box? ...a king fish? ...a fire fly? ...a ginger snap? ...a salad bowl? ...a picket fence?
