There is some wisdom here...
* Why do I have to press one for English when you're just going to transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?

* The ability to speak several languages is an asset, but the ability to keep your mouth shut in any language is priceless.

* Be decisive. Right or wrong, make a decision. The road is paved with flat squirrels who couldn’t make a decision.

* When I get a headache I take two aspirin and keep away from children just like the bottle says.

* Just once, I want the prompt for username and password to say, “Close enough.”

* If you see me talking to myself, just move along. I’m self-employed. We’re having a meeting.

* “Your call is very important to us. Please enjoy this 40-minute flute solo."

* Does anyone else have a plastic bag full of plastic bags, or is it just me?

* I hate it when I can’t figure out how to operate the iPad and my tech support guy is asleep. He’s 5 and it’s past his bedtime.

* Today’s 3-year-olds can switch on laptops and open their favorite apps. When I was 3,I picked boogers and offered them to others.

* Tip for a successful marriage: Don’t ask your wife when dinner will be ready while she’s mowing the lawn.

* So, you drive across town to a gym to walk on a treadmill?

*If God wanted me to touch my toes, He would've put them on my knees.

* You don't need anger management. You need people to stop irritating you.

* Your people skills are just fine. It's your tolerance for idiots that needs work.

* Even duct tape can't fix stupid – but it sure does muffle the sound.

* It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free...and three sizes smaller.

* Lately, you've noticed people your age are so much older than you.

* "One for the road" means taking a leak before you leave the house.

It's fine to eat a test grape in the produce section, but you take one bite of  rotisserie  chicken and it's all, "Sir, you need to leave!" 

When I was a kid, I used to watch the ‘Wizard of Oz’ & wonder how someone could talk if they didn't have a brain. Then I got Facebook.

I love bacon.  Sometimes I eat it twice a day.  It takes my mind off the terrible chest pains I keep getting.



As I watch this generation try to rewrite history, one thing I am sure of is that it will be misspelled and have no punctuation.

Ask your doctor if a drug with 32 pages of side effects is bad for you.

The best way to get back on your feet is to miss two car payments.


Driver:  "What am I supposed to do with this speeding ticket?"  Officer, "Keep it. When you collect four of them, you get a bicycle."

One thing no one ever talks about, when it comes to being an older adult, is how much time we devote to keeping a cardboard box because it is, you know, a really good box.

I can't believe I forgot to go to the gym today.  That's seven years in a row, now.

If you dropped something when you were younger, you just picked it up.  When you're older and you drop something, you stare at it for just a bit contemplating if you actually need it anymore.

I like to make lists.  I also like to leave them lying on the kitchen counter, and then guess what's on the list when I am at the store.

I just read a book about marriage that says treat your wife like you treated her on your first date.  So, tonight after dinner I'm dropping her off at her parent's house.


I want to be 14 again & ruin my life differently. I have new ideas.

Apparently RSVP'ing to a wedding invitation with "Maybe next time" isn't the correct response.

Never trust an electrician with no eyebrows.
