Things are more like they are now than they have ever been before.
I heard this credited to Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The sad thing is, my inane morning comment was actually meant to make sense and be helpful… “See I showed up wildly early unlike others who would just use holiday bus schedule as an excuse to show up late! I am being nice!”
It was just so poorly worded. I blame the early morning, the holiday wine I drank last night, and the fact I have worked my 9th shift in seven days…
oh and this
Is it ever what it isn’t? No? Good. On we go.

Think outside the box.
I’ve seen attributed to Lincoln: “People who like this sort of thing will find this is the sort of thing they like.”
By the way, did you know half of all people are below average?
I’ve heard this another way:
“Think about how dumb the average person is. Then think about the fact that half the population is even dumber than that.”
“Well, if it’s in stock, we’ve got it!”
We mocked one of my brother’s friends mercilessly when he declared “I’ll be there unless I’m not.” Good to know, dude.
This expression enrages me. I’m not even sure why.
Because life would be so much more fun if once in a while it was what it wasn’t. But it never is.
Yea, it never is what it isn’t.

That’s fine, except for the shipping department manager who has to always think inside the box.
I still want to take “New Normal” out back and give it a good beating.
I knew a bar owner wh shrugged and said " it is what it is" with poor turnouts, bad sales and so forth. She shrugged and it is what it is-ed her way to changed locks and eviction notices.
I’m not saying sweat the small stuff but really? It is what it is? Try to make it NOT THat you know before the floor falls out from under you.
Bars, clubs, restaurants are high-risk, low-margin businesses, so by nature they don’t attract people with much business sense.
I’ve never heard “It is what it is” said as anything other than a response to an eyerollingly obnoxious statement. So, if you’re hearing this phrase a lot, I may have some bad news.
“I can believe that!”
I am sooo using this! Thanks!
Thanks! Have a couple more.
What won’t be, won’t be.
What hasn’t been, still might be.
What ain’t, isn’t.
If it’s not, it’s probably not.
“I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that’s the America millions of Americans believe in. That’s the America I love.”
~Actual Mitt Romney Quote (January 2012)
Why is it that you always find something in the last place that you looked?
Probably because once you find it you stop looking.
