Life's Rules
|
- I live in my own little world but it's OK, everyone knows me here.
- I saw a rather large woman wearing a sweat shirt with 'Guess' on it. So I said, "Thyroid problem?"
- A sign In a Chinese Pet Store: "Buy one dog, get one flea."
- Money can't buy happiness but it sure makes misery easier to live with.
- I got a sweater for Christmas. I really wanted a screamer or a moaner.
- If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the "terminal"?
- I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of them get elected.
- The most precious thing we have is life, yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.
- If life deals you lemons, make lemonade; if it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody Marys.
- I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
- Shopping tip: You can get shoes for a buck at bowling alleys.
-
Every day I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
-
No one ever says "It's only a game!" when their team is winning.
-
How long a minute is, depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on.
-
Isn't having a smoking section in a restaurant like having a peeing section in a swimming pool?
-
Why is it that most nudists are people you don't want to see naked?
-
Snowmen fall from Heaven unassembled.
-
Every time I walk into a singles bar I can hear Mom's wise words: Don't pick that up, you don't know where it's been!
