    "If you're going to tell people the truth, you better make them laugh; otherwise they'll kill you." - George Bernard Shaw

    The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

    Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

    May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

    Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too

    The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

    When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

    More worthless facts:

    A bag of 1,000 quarters weighs 13.42 lbs.

    You can't sneeze in your sleep.

    Bottled water costs about 1,000 times more than tap water.

    The average speed of a man's orgasm is 28 MPH.

    Why is it that we won't let our children read a Bible in school, but they may in prison?

    Rumors can make you dislike innocent people. Don’t judge people from what others are saying about them. Be wise. Get to know them, then form your own opinion. The one telling you the rumors may be the one you need to stay away from.

    Birds of a feather flock together and crap on your car.

    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.

    If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

    Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain.

    A penny saved is 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 replacement.

    He who hesitates is probably right.

    Did you ever notice: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are " XL."

    If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

    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."

    We can forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. Plato


    1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.

    2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.. Your foot will change direction!!!
