View Full Version : Things to Ponder

A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water.

How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?

Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.

Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?

Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.

No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car.

There are no new sins....the old ones just get more publicity.

There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM. It could be a right number.

Think about this..., No one ever says "It's only a game" when his team is winning.

Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.

The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.

If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.

Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.

I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.

Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it.

The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.

Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than in a Yugo.

After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead.

My sons 'girlfriend' is supposedly getting Eeyore on her behind. An A$$ on her A$$ I guess there is something to it - I gon't get it. At any rate, we said in 30 years it will probably look more like a hippopatamous. He didn't like that visual!

Kids......

Friends of mine were getting tattoos while I was in the Navy. I thought about it--then imagined that rose on my (ahem) inevitably turning into a long stem rose.

My grandkid would maybe say, "Grandma, what's that??"

"Shut up, kid!" I imagined myself maybe saying. :o

I never got the tattoo...

I got my first tattoo just after my divorce (midlife crisis??? :) ). Anyway, it was patriotic - just after I got out of the military too. An eagle on my left pectoral.

The artisan had to shave my chest hair before the procedure and just before he started to shave he said, "You know this hair will grow back." To which I replied, "Yeah, but in a few years it will be white and the eagle will look like it's coming out of the clouds."

True Story.
