Waxing philosophic

Posted by: robertstevenson In: *Silly stuff (signs, news, pics)

 1. A day without sunshine is like night.
 
2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
 3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
 4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
 5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
 6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
 7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
 8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
 9. Support bacteria. They’re the only culture some people have.
 10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
 11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
 12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
 13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.
 14. OK, so what’s the speed of dark?
 15. When everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
 16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
 17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
 18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.
 19. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?
 20. Why do psychics have to ask you your name?
 21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, ‘What the heck happened?’
 22. Just remember — if the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off.
 23. Light travels faster than sound. That’s why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

These were great, Rob. I have one for you. If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

Reminds me of sitting around with my friends, just out of high school, puffing away and sharing these types of funnies. I very much enjoyed reading them. They are witty and smart.

Here are a few, Rob…

…like the skilled diplomat who can tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.

Any philosophy than can fit in a nut shell belongs there.

Enjoy better living through denial.

If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.

Money is the route of all wealth.

Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

The principle of inertia is simple: A body at rest tends to stay that way.

A double one for you … according to my car’s handbook, it’s fitted with an ‘ABS braking system’

Anyway love your statements above, so thought I’d say Hi :-)
