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

    If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

    It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply be kind to others.

    Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

    Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

    Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

    The second mouse gets the cheese.

    When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

    Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

    You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

    Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

    We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

    A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

    Long ago and far away,
    In a land that time forgot,
    Before the days of Dylan,
    Or the dawn of Camelot.
    There lived a race of innocents,
    And they were you and me,
    Long ago and far away
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    Oh, there was truth and goodness
    In that land where we were born,
    Where navels were for oranges,
    And Peyton Place was porn.
    For Ike was in the White House,
    And Hoss was on TV,
    And God was in His heaven
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    Boys learned to gut a muffler,
    Girls washed their hair at dawn,
    We spread our crinolines to dry
    In circles on the lawn.
    And they could hear us coming
    All the way to Tennessee,
    All starched and sprayed and rumbling
    in the Land That Made Me Me.

    We longed for love and romance,
    And waited for the prince,
    And Eddie Fisher married Liz,
    And no one's seen him since.
    We danced to "Little Darlin'",
    And Sang to "Stagger Lee"
    And cried for Buddy Holly
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    Only girls wore earrings then,
    And three was one too many,
    And only boys wore flat-top cuts,
    Except for Jean McKinney.
    And only in our wildest dreams
    Did we expect to see
    A boy named George with lipstick
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    We fell for Frankie Avalon,
    Annette was oh, so nice,
    And when they made a movie,
    They never made it twice.
    We didn't have a Star Trek Five,
    Or Psycho Two and Three,
    Or Rockey-Rambo Twenty
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    Miss Kitty had a heart of gold,
    And Chester had a limp,
    And Reagan was a Democrat
    Whose co-star was a chimp.
    We had a Mr Wizard,
    But not a Mr T,
    And Oprah couldn't talk yet
    In the Land That Made Me Me

    We had our share of heroes,
    We never thought they'd go,
    At least not Bobby Darin,
    Or Marilyn Monroe.
    For youth was still eternal,
    And life was yet to be,
    And Elvis was forever,
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    We'd never seen a rock band
    That was Grateful to be Dead,
    And Airplanes weren't named Jefferson,
    And Zeppelins weren't Led.
    And Beatles lived in gardens then,
    And Monkees in a tree,
    Madonna was a virgin
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    We'd never heard of Microwaves,
    Or telephones in cars,
    And babies might be bottle-fed,
    But they were not grown in jars.
    And pumping iron got wrinkles out,
    And "gay" meant fancy-free,
    And dorms were never coed
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    We hadn't seen enough of jets
    To talk about the lag,
    And microchips were what was left at
    The bottom of the bag.
    And Hardware was a box of nails,
    And bytes came from a flea,
    And rocket ships were fiction
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    Buicks came with portholes,
    And the side show came with freaks,
    And bathing suits came big enough
    To cover both your cheeks.
    And Coke came just in bottles,
    And skirts came to the knee,
    And Castro came to power
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    We had no Crest with Fluoride,
    We had no Hill Street Blues,
    We all wore superstructure bras
    Designed by Howard Hughes.
    We had no patterned pantyhose
    Or Lipton herbal tea
    Or prime-time ads for condoms
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    There were no golden arches,
    No Perriers to chill,
    And fish were not called Wanda,
    And cats were not called Bill.
    And middle-aged was thirty-five
    And old was forty-three,
    And ancient were our parents
    In the Land That Made Me Me.

    But all things have a season,
    Or so we've heard them say,
    And now instead of Maybelline
    We swear by Retin-A.
    And they send us invitations
    To join AARP,
    We've come a long way, baby,
    From the Land That Made Me Me.

    So now we face a brave new world
    In slightly larger jeans,
    And wonder why they're using
    Smaller print in magazines.
    And we tell our children's children
    of the way it used to be,
    Long ago, and far away
    In the Land That Made Me Me. Author unknown.

    Leaves fall at different speeds and patterns, inevitably the ground is their final destination.

    Don't give up what you want most for what you want today.

    I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

    Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

    Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.

    The roundest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference.

    The butcher backed up into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.

    To write with a broken pencil is pointless.

    When fish are in schools they sometimes take debate.

    The short fortune teller who escaped from prison was a small medium at large.

    A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.
