A Little Wisdom
« on: September 30, 2016, 12:34:13 pm »

                  [   Sometimes, when I look at my children, I say to myself, 'Lillian, you should have
remained a virgin.'     

   - Lillian Carter (mother of Jimmy Carter)     

     

   I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: - 'No good in a bed, but fine against a wall.'     

   - Eleanor Roosevelt
 
  Last week, I stated this woman was the ugliest woman I had ever seen.
I have since been visited by her sister, and now wish to withdraw that statement.     

   - Mark Twain     

       

   The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending;
and to have the two as close together as possible.
     

   - George Burns     

         

   Santa Claus has the right idea. Visit people only once a year.     

   - Victor Borge     

   Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.     

   - Mark Twain     

     

   By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one,
you'll become a philosopher.     

   - Socrates     
         

   I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.     

   - Groucho Marx     

         

   My wife has a slight impediment in her speech. Every now and then she stops to breathe.     

   - Jimmy Durante 
   
   I have never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back.     

   - Zsa Zsa Gabor     

       

   Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups:
alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fat.     

   - Alex Levine     

         

   My luck is so bad that if I bought a cemetery, people would stop dying.     

   - Rodney Dangerfield     

       

   Money can't buy you happiness .... But it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.     

   - Spike Milligan     

       

   Until I was thirteen, I thought my name was SHUT UP.     

   - Joe Namath     

         

   I don't feel old. I don't feel anything until noon. Then it's time for my nap.     

   - Bob Hope     
     

   I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.     

   - W. C. Fields     

         

   We could certainly slow the aging process down if it had to work its way through Congress.     

   - Will Rogers     

         

   Don't worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older, it will avoid you.     

   - Winston Churchill     

   

   Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty, but everything else starts to wear out,
fall out, or spread out.

Hi Nemo, I have heard that an asprin is a very effective form of contraception.  The girl simply clamps it between her knees.

Apparently, this is true, teenage pregnancy has dropped dramatically.  It is believed the girls are staying in their bedrooms texting!

A couple of quotes.

Oscar Wild said of his Mother in Law "She has lost the art of conversation but retained the gift of speech".

An anonymous item from a compilation of teachers remarks in pupils reports.

The improvement in his writing has revealed an inability to spell.

   Many years ago I had an apprentice called Dave one Monday morning he turned up at work with a black eye, I asked him what happened (he used to play rugby) his reply was brilliant for an 18 year old "I was talking when I should have been listening!"
