I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather did, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car. I was on a chat last night and I thought: "I must have Asperger's or I wouldn't be sitting here arguing with a monitor!"

If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees. If it's free, it's advice; if you pay for it, it's counseling; if you can actuallu use either one, it's a miracle. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. If I melted dry ice, could I swim in it and not get wet? If it ain't broke fix it anyway! If it's broke fix it and make it worse! If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless. If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the OTHERS here for? If it's zero degrees outside today and it's supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow, how cold is it going to be? If knees were backwards, what would chairs look like? If man evolved from apes why do we still have apes? If olive oil comes from olives, where does baby oil come from? If the odds are a million to one against something occurring, chances are 50-50 it will. If the world were a logical place, men would ride horses side-saddle. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's intolerance. If toast always lands butter-side-down, and cats always land on their feet, what would happen if you strapped a piece of toast on the back of a cat & dropped it? If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat? If women wear a pair of pants, a pair of glasses, and a pair of earrings, why don't they wear a pair of bras?

Why is it when you take them for a ride in a car, they stick their head out of the window? If you can read this, I can slam on my brakes and sue you. If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame. If you can survive death, you can probably survive anything. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. If you had everything, where would you keep it? If you have a difficult task, give it to a lazy person; they'll find an easier way to do it. If you mixed vodka with orange juice and Milk Of Magnesia, would you get a Philip's Screwdriver? If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before. If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments. If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito. If you were driving your car at the speed of light, and you turned on your headlights. Would anything happen? If you're cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? If you're living on the edge, make sure you're wearing your seat belt. If your mechanic claims that he stands behind his brake jobs, keep looking. You want to find one willing to stand in front of them. I'm a psychic amnesiac. I know in advance what I'm going to forget. I'm not schizophrenic, and neither am I. I'm not tense, just terribly, terribly alert. I'm retired. I wake up in the morning with nothing to do, and by bedtime I have it only half done. Imagination is more important than knowledge. - Albert Einstein Impotence: Nature's way of saying "No hard feelings." In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. In the 60's, people took acid to make the world appear weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it appear normal. In the game of life, always remember the Rule of Holes - "When you're already in one, stop digging!" Individualists of the world, UNITE! Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, only to be troubled and insecure? Introducing LITE - the new way to spell LIGHT with 20% fewer letters! Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken? Is it time for your medication or mine? Is there another word for synonym? Isn't "terminal" kind of a bad name for a building where huge metal objects get loaded up with people and then roar down a runway and somehow, magically, get lifted up in the air, with everyone on board hoping like heck that it will all work? It doesn't matter what you do in the bedroom as long as you don't do it in the street and frighten the horses. It IS as bad as you think, and they ARE out to get you. It is bad luck to be superstitious. It's lonely at the top, but you eat better. It's not an optical illusion. It just looks like one. It's not hard to meet expenses, they're everywhere. It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end. Just because I have a short attention span doesn't mean I ... um ... er ... uh ... Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. Just before someone gets nervous, do they experience cocoons in their stomach? Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day in my underwear. Instead, I will move my computer into the bedroom. Just what the hell was the best thing BEFORE sliced bread? Karma is like a rubber band: You can only stretch it so far before it comes back and smacks you in the face. Law of Probability Dispersal: Whatever it is that hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. Lead me not into temptation (I can find the way myself).

My mind is like a steel trap: rusty, and illegal in 37 states. My mind works like lightning - one brilliant flash and it is gone. Never argue with a fool; he will soon beat you with his experience. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Nothing says poor craftsmanship more than wrinkled duct tape. Occasionally doing something totally crazy prevents permanent insanity. OK: Moths and sweaters. I just don't get the attraction. Old age is when you still have something on the ball but you are just too tired to bounce it.

The major symptom is that all observations are routed through the wrong orifice. Optirectumitis - where the optic nerve gets crossed with the rectal nerve resulting in a crappy outlook on life.

I am NOT cheap! I'm easy, but I'm NOT cheap!!! Please, Lord, let me prove that winning the lottery won't spoil me. Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future. - Niels Bohr Psychiatrists say that 1 of 4 people is mentally ill. Check three friends. If they're OK, you're it. Real programmers don't comment their code. It was damned hard to write in the first place, and it should be damned hard to understand! Religion is for people who fear hell.

Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants off. Some people are like a Slinky toy - not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them. Some people just don't know how to drive, I call these people "Everybody But Me." Sometimes it's wise not to do anything about the things about which you can do nothing. Stable relationships are for horses. Suburbia: Where they tear out the trees & then name streets after them. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Tell a man that there are 400 billion stars and he'll believe you. Say a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it. That's the beer that made Mel Famie walk us. The average woman would rather have beauty than brains because the average man can see better than he can think. The big difference between sex for money and sex for free Is that sex for money usually costs a lot less! The chance that you'll forget something is directly proportional to ... to ... uh ... The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required on it. The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity.
