Title: Things to ponder today
Post by: Ron Sower on May 20, 2018, 11:41:49 AM
I read that 4,153,237 people got married last year...  not to cause any trouble but shouldn't that be an even number?

♦I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue stand for freedom until they are flashing behind you.

♦When wearing a bikini, women reveal 90% of their body... Men are so polite they only look at the covered parts.

♦Relationships are a lot like algebra...  Have you ever looked at your X and wondered Y?

♦America is a country which produces citizens who will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won't cross the street to vote.

♦You know that tingly little feeling you get when you like someone? That's your common sense leaving your body.

♦Did you know that dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

♦My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We'll see about that.

♦I think my neighbor is stalking me as she's been googling my name on her computer. I saw it through my telescope last night.

♦Money talks ...but all mine ever says is good-bye.

♦You're not fat, you're just... easier to see.

♦If you think nobody cares whether you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

♦I always wondered what the job application is like at Hooters... Do they just give you a bra and then say, "Here, fill this out?"

♦I can't understand why women are okay that JC Penny has an older women's clothing line named, " Sag Harbor "

♦My therapist said that my narcissism causes me to misread social situations. I'm pretty sure she was hitting on me.

♦My 60 year kindergarten reunion is coming up soon and I'm worried about the 175 pounds I've gained since then.

♦Denny's has a slogan, "If it's your birthday, the meal is on us." If you're in Denny's, and it's your birthday, your life sucks!

♦The pharmacist asked me my birth date again today. I'm pretty sure she's planning to get me something.

♦The location of your mailbox shows you how far away from your house you can be in a robe before you start looking like a mental patient.

♦I think it's pretty cool how Chinese people made a language entirely out of tattoos.

♦Money can't buy happiness, but it keeps the kids in touch!

♦The reason Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet was because nobody was married. Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Earnest T Bass, Helen, Thelma Lou, Clara and, of course, Opie were all single. The only married person was Otis, and he stayed drunk.
