OK. I'll admit it. I don't feel like writing today. Maybe I'll think of something to write tomorrow. In the meantime, failing an original piece, enjoy the following "funny" that someone sent me a while back.


WORDS OF WISDOM


I am in shape. Round is a shape.

Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.

Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.

Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.

Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

An optimist thinks that this is the best possible world. A pessimist fears that this is true.

There will always be death and taxes; however, death doesn't get worse every year.

In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.

I am a nutritional overachiever.

I am having an out of money experience.

I plan on living forever. So far, so good.

A day without sunshine is like night.

It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

Brain cells come and brain cells go, but fat cells live forever.

Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.

Life not only begins at forty, it also begins to show.

You don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stopped laughing.

Cliche of the Day

Keep a Stiff Upper Lip Remain stoical; maintain one's courage; do not show emotion in an adverse stiuation. John Neal use it in Down Easters (1833): "What's the use of boohooin'? ...Keep a stiff upper lip; no bones broke--don't I know?" The saying arises from the fact that a prelude to crying is a trembling of the upper lip; the advice is to keep it firm and not weep. The British have an expression almost as old: "Keep your pecker up." The "pecker" here is an analogy to the beak of a bird.
