"I'd rather regret the things I have done than the things I have not." --Lucille Ball Smoking kills, and if you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life. People have the right to be stupid, but some abuse that privilege. Join the army, meet interesting people, kill them. Pride of nationality depends not on ignorance of other nations, but on ignorance of one's own. Laugh alone and the world thinks you're an idiot. Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing. Free advice is worth what you paid for it. My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do. Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms. Never judge a book by it's movie. If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing. We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up. The trouble with the rat-race is that even if you win, you're still a rat. A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking. Children seldom misquote you.

Men know that if a woman had to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she would probably save the infant's life, without even considering whether there were men on base. Women should have labels on their foreheads saying, "Danger: Government Health Warning: Women can be dangerous to your brains, current account, confidence, razor blades and good standing among your friends."

Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out alive. Life is the only thing you can't get out of alive. May your life be like toilet paper... Long and useful. Someone said to Voltaire, "Life is hard." Voltaire replied, "Compared to what?" We are born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things get worse. Life is full of disappointments, and I'm full of life! Eat right, exercise daily, live clean, die anyway. Today is the last day of some of your life. Death is a once in a lifetime experience. Whoever has lived long enough to find out what life is, knows how deep a debt of gratitude we owe to Adam, the first great benefactor of our race. He brought death into the world. What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I'd realized it sooner. Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us. After a year in therapy, my psychiatrist said to me, 'Maybe life isn't for everyone.' Anything good in life is either illegal, immoral, or fattening. Anything not fitting into these categories causes cancer in rats. Life is wasted on the living. Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead. There is no cure for birth or death save to enjoy the interval. Life is a razor, you are always in hot water or a scrape.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving definitely isn't for you. If at first you don't succeed, then you didn't do it right! There are two rules for success in life: Rule 1: Don't tell people everything you know. If we do not succeed, we run the risk of failure. --Vice President Dan Quayle I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone. -- Bill Cosby Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made. -- Jean Giraudoux If at first you DO succeed, try not to look astonished! If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. To successfully keep robbers out of your house put six locks on your door. When you go out, lock every other one. No matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a stinkin' fool about it. If you are feeling unsuccessful just think about this: eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. What a nice night for an evening. Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories. Some people say that I'm superficial, but that's just on the surface. On one hand, I'm indecisive; but on the other, I'm not. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance. The world's full of apathy, but I don't care. Perspective is in the eye of the beholder. Prejudiced people are all alike. Those who judge others will burn in Hell! Exaggeration is not all it's cracked up to be. I'm still not sure if I understand ambiguity. There's no such thing as nonexistence. Cooperation can only be reached if we work together. As far as I'm concerned, treachery will sometimes bring loyalty into question. It doesn't matter what temperature a room is; it's always room temperature. Avoid cliches like the plague. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake. I always try to do things in chronological order. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement. Death to all fanatics! An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. Don't chew [or eat] with your mouth full. It's deja vu all over again. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous! I always wanted to be a procrastinator! Rehab is for quitters! Don't be redundant by repeating yourself. Some people type so fast that forget to include I am becoming increasingly worried that there isn't enough anxiety in my life. I have this nagging fear that everyone is out to make me paranoid. Free advice is worth what you paid for it. Entropy just isn't what it used to be. I keep telling myself that I am a pathological liar, but I am not sure if I believe it. Not only am I redundant & superfluous, but I also tend to use more words than necessary. Honk if you love peace and quiet. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. Give me ambiguity or give me something else. Always be on the lookout for conspicuousness otherwise it's hard to tell if someone is inconspicuous. He doesn't have much of a reputation, or so I've heard. I disagree with unanimity. I have my doubts about disbelief. Avoid Alliteration. Always. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. Always and never are two words you should always remember never to use. I always wanted to be a procrastinator... never got around to it. Friends: People who know you well, but like you anyway. Friends help you move. Real friends help you move dead bodies. Friends don't let friends drive naked. Friends -- the people who stab ya in the front. Sometimes people need what only friends can provide -- Absence. Friends who think they're perfect are very annoying to those of us who really are.

Deep Thought: I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver…and since he is so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him. Deep Thought: If you're robbing a bank and you're pants fall down, I think it's okay to laugh and to let the hostages laugh too, because, come on, life is funny. Deep Thought: If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid looking in a mirror, because I bet that will really throw you into a panic. Deep Thought: Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead. No, wait, not me, you. Deep Thought: I wish outer space guys would conquer the Earth and make people their pets, because I'd like to have one of those little beds with my name on it. Deep Thought: It's true that every time you hear a bell, an angel gets its wings. But what they don't tell you is that every time you hear a mousetrap snap, an Angel gets set on fire. Deep Thought: If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them. Deep Thought: The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why I didn't get more meat, I'll just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I've hidden it. Good magic trick, huh? Deep Thought: If they ever come up with a swashbuckling school, I think one of the courses should be laughing, then jumping off something. Deep Thought: A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say, "That's dynamite, baby."

He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice. Deep Thought: Many people think that history is a dull subject. Dull? Is it "dull" that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn't seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull? Deep Thought: If you're at Thanksgiving dinner, but you don't like the stuffing or the cranberry sauce or anything else, just pretend like you're eating it, but instead, put it all in your lap and form it into a big mushy ball. Then, later, when you're out back having cigars with the boys, let out a big fake cough and throw the ball to the ground. Then say, "Boy, these are good cigars!" Deep Thought: A funny thing to do is, if you're out hiking and your friend gets bitten by a poisonous snake, tell him you're going to go for help, then go about ten feet and pretend that *you* got bit by a snake. Then start an argument with him about who's going to go get help. A lot of guys will start crying. That's why it makes you feel good when you tell them it was just a joke. Deep Thought: If you're a horse, and someone gets on you, and falls off, and then gets right back on you, I think you should buck him off right away. Deep Thought: If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy. Deep Thought: Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing. Deep Thought: I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true, what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on. Deep Thought: The memories of my family outings are still a source of strength to me. I remember we'd all pile into the car - I forget what kind it was - and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some trees there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we played whatever sport we played. I remember a bigger, older guy we called "Dad." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess some things never leave you. Deep Thought: 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." Deep Thought: One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late. Deep Thought: If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone. Deep Thought: Laurie got offended that I used the word "puke." But to me, that's what her dinner tasted like. Deep Thought: If you're a young Mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it's real embarrassing if someone tries to kill you. Deep Thought: Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what is I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny. Deep Thought: If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn't open, and you friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming. Deep Thought: If I could be a bird, I'd be a Flying Purple People Eater because then people would sing about me and I could fly down and eat them because I hate that song. Deep Thought: Once while walking through the mall a guy came up to me and said, "Hey, how's it going?" So I grabbed his arm and twisted it up behind his head and said "Now who's asking the questions?" Deep Thought: Instead of studying for finals, what about just going to the Bahamas and catching some rays? Maybe you'll flunk, but you might have flunked anyway; that's my point. Deep Thought: If you want to be the most popular person in your class, whenever the professor pauses in his lecture, just let out a big snort and say "How do you figger that!" real loud. Then lean back and sort of smirk. Deep Thought: I love to go to the schoolyard and watch the children jump and scream, but they don't know I'm using blanks. Deep Thought: If you work on a lobster boat, sneaking up behind people and pinching them is probably a joke that gets old real fast. Deep Thought: Marta says the interesting thing about fly-fishing is that it's two lives connected by a thin strand. Come on, Marta. Grow up. Deep Thought: Love can sweep you off your feet and carry you along in a way you've never known before. But the ride always ends, and you end up feeling lonely and bitter. Wait. It's not love I'm describing. I'm thinking of a monorail. Deep Thought: When this girl at the art museum asked me whom I liked better, Monet or Manet, I said, "I like mayonnaise." She just stared at me, so I said it again, louder. Then she left. I guess she went to try to find some mayonnaise for me. Deep Thought: Sometimes life seems like a dream, especially when I look down and see that I forgot to put on my pants. Deep Thought: Marta was watching the football game with me when she said, "You know, most of these sports are based on the idea of one group protecting its territory from invasion by another group." "Yeah," I said, trying not to laugh. Girls are funny. Deep Thought: Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk. Deep Thought: To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" you can say, "Sorry, got these sacks." Deep Thought: Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis. Deep Thought: Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind. Deep Thought: It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man. Deep Thought: I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!" Deep Thought: The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. Deep Thought: Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition. Deep Thought: I'd rather be rich than stupid. Deep Thought: If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward. Deep Thought: When you go in for a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges. Deep Thought: To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other. Deep Thought: What is it that makes a complete stranger dive into an icy river to save a solid gold baby? Maybe we'll never know. Deep Thought: We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me. Deep Thought: Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick. Deep Thought: I think someone should have had the decency to tell me the luncheon was free. To make someone run out with potato salad in his hand, pretending he's throwing up, is not what I call hospitality. Deep Thought: To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad. Deep Thought: Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer. Deep Thought: If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might if they screamed all the time for no good reason. Deep Thought: Better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home his face might burn up. Deep Thought: You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who make people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea. Deep Thought: Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the person's house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of its head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done. Deep Thought: If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy. I went to a general store, but they wouldn't let me buy anything specific. I put instant coffee in a microwave and almost went back in time. I have a hobby. I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen some of it. Last week I forgot how to ride a bicycle. My girlfriend's weird. One day she asked me, "If you could know how and when you were going to die, would you want to know?" I said, "No." She said, "Okay, forget it." I went for a walk last night and she asked me how long I was going to be gone. I said, "The whole time." My buddy got busted for counterfeiting. He was making pennies. They caught him because he was putting the heads and tails on the wrong sides. Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories. I just got skylights put in my place. The people who live above me are furious. I got stopped by a cop the other day. He said, "Why'd you run that stop sign?" I said, "Because I don't believe everything I read." The other day, I went to a tourist information booth and asked, "Tell me about some of the people who were here last year." "I'd rather regret the things I have done than the things I have not." --Lucille Ball Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing. My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right. Suicidal twin kills sister by mistake! When I die, I want to go like my grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep. Not yelling and screaming like all the passengers in his car. If I had some ham, I could have some ham and eggs, if I had some eggs. No, officer. I do not wish to give up my right to remain silent!! Reality is a big, nasty, vicious dragon, but I don't believe in dragons. I just got lost in thought. It was unfamiliar territory. I love cats ...they taste like chicken. There comes a time in every man's life, and I've had many of them... If you're robbing a bank and you're pants fall down, I think it's okay to laugh and to let the hostages laugh too, because, come on, life is funny. -- Jack Handey He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it. -- Douglas Adams A child can go only so far in life without potty training. It is not mere coincidence that six of the last seven presidents were potty trained, not to mention nearly half of the nation's state legislators. After a year in therapy, my psychiatrist said to me, 'Maybe life isn't for everyone.' -- Larry Brown "I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions --but I don't always agree with them." -George Bush, US President "Please provide the date of your death." -from an IRS letter "We are sorry to announce that Mr Albert Brown has been quite unwell, owing to his recent death, and is taking a short holiday to recover." -Parish Magazine "One of their children, Cain, once asked, 'Am I my brother's son?'" -Student Bloopers Sure, the pesticide chlordane is going to kill a lot of people, but they may be dying of something else anyway. I'm an excellent housekeeper. Every time I get a divorce, I keep the house. -- Zsa Zsa Gabor I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem. I am in shape. Round is a shape. The statistic on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you. -- Rita Mae Brown My wife said I never listen to her. At least I think that's what she said. Have you ever noticed? Anybody going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac. -- George Carlin We have strange and wonderful relationship. You're strange and I'm wonderful. I'm not into working out. My philosophy: No pain, no pain. I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it.--Groucho Marx I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants. If your parents never had children, chances are you won't either. I filled out an application that said, "In Case of Emergency Notify". I wrote "Doctor"... What's my mother going to do? Sign outside the Fountain of Youth Health Spa in Salt Lake City: Are You Fat And Ugly? Do You Want To Be Just Ugly? Memberships Available Now. I'm just glad it'll be Clark Gable who's falling on his face and not Gary Cooper. --Gary Cooper on his decision not to take the leading role in "Gone With The Wind." I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out. I don't do drugs anymore 'cause I find I get the same effect just by standing up really fast. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. I put a dollar in one of those change machines. Nothing changed. Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before. Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again. -- Marin County newspaper's TV listing for "The Wizard of Oz" Computer Joke: 640K ought to be enough for anybody. - Bill Gates '81 Computer Joke: Ever notice how fast Windows runs?

Computer Joke: No electrons were harmed in the creation of this message. Computer Joke: THINK -- it gives you something to do while the computer is down. Computer Joke: To err is human.

Computer Joke: With computers, every morning is the dawn of a new error.
