One Liners (cont.)
The sole purpose of a child's middle name, is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them",because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.
You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
We have enough gun control. What we need is idiot control.
Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.
Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat.
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like thepassengers in his bus.
We live in a society where pizza gets to your house before the police.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water.
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
A TV can insult your intelligence, but nothing rubs it in like a computer.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!
Hallmark Card: "I'm so miserable without you, it's almost like you're still here."
Dogs have masters. Cats have staff.
