I started another one like this before the board went down and, of course, I lost it so let’s see if we can get some of the things we had back again.

Mine:

Your village called, their idiot is missing.

5 out of 4 people have a problem with fractions.

Everyone’s out to get me because I’m paranoid.

I did NOT escape from an asylum, they gave me a day pass.

I’m not bossy, I just have better ideas.

Save a tree, eat a beaver.

If the world didn’t suck we would all fall off.

Save the planet, kill yourself.

To save time, assume I know everything.

“Drugs are bad for you. . .but they feel SO good going down!”~Brett Scallions from Fuel

Ok so they aren’t the best. That’s why I’m counting on you guys. Post away!😃

T-shirt “I killed Kenny.”

My mom still can’t figure out why kids under 25 were calling me “You bastard!” as we walked through the Orlando airport.

lol, that’s pretty funny. By the way you can also post lyrics.

And on that jaundice moon that fills the sky  
Prepare the sacred ground  
And I wrestled with my angel  
And I pinned her to the ground  
Gloating at my prowess while I basked in her defeat  
I noticed Satan had her by the ankles  
And he held her down for me  
And my mind was jaded  
Hypocrisy  
Just keep believing that I’m so free

“If you marry for money, you’ll earn it at minimum wage”

“Never pay over $50,000 for something that doesn’t have a basement under it.”

Both from my grandfather.

I always liked this bumper sticker:

“I said no to drugs, but the drugs didn’t listen.”  
This was the t-shirt for the English Department at a local college:

“I had sex with Michael Focou and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.”

On a t-shirt (for a bail-bond company):

“Aaron Bonding: Where it’s always springtime!”

On a button I bought over the weekend:

“Sorry won’t bring back Johnny’s testicle.”

On a bumper sticker:

“Jesus is my co-pilot…and we’re cruising for pussy!”

and her bumper sticker said:

“Mean People Suck, but I Swallow”

and that’s much better than the GratefulPhishhead types who just stop it at Mean People Suck.
