Gentle Lessons of Life
When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle. It makes the
neighbor's dog run to the end of his chain and gag
himself.
A penny saved is obviously the result of a government
oversight.
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.
The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight,
because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be
really good friends.
The easiest way to find something lost around the house is
to buy a new replacement for it.
He who hesitates is probably doing the right thing.
Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are
' XL.'
If you think there is some good in everybody, you obviously
haven't met 'everybody'.
If you can smile when things go wrong, you must have
someone else in mind to blame.
The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so that he
can tell when he's 'really' in trouble.
There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take
time to look for it. For example, I am sitting here thinking
how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words 'The'
and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs.'
Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop
lying about your age and start bragging about it.
The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in
line for.
Some people try to turn back their life's odometers.
Not me, I want people to know 'why' I look this way.
I've traveled a long, long way and some of the roads
weren't paved.
When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to
youth, think of Algebra.
You know you are getting old when everything either dries
up or leaks.
One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that
it is such a nice change from being young.
Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
First you forget names, then you forget faces. Then you
forget to pull up your zipper. It's even worse when you
forget to pull it down.
Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks,
it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf
Lord, Keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over
my mouth...AMEN..!!
