If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then give up. No sense making an ass of yourself. ---

I had this up as a scrolling screensaver at work for a very long time: "It’s no accident that “stressed” spelled backwards is “desserts”. My mother used to say this to me before a date: “Be good. If you can’t be good, be careful. If you can’t be careful: name it after me.” ---

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like bananas. I love cats. They taste like chicken. Why put off til tomorrow what you can put off til the day after tomorrow? To err is human; to forgive, canine. Does your nose run? Do your feet smell? If so, you’re built upside-down. ---

Way to go, **jr8** , now I have “Rhythm Section Want Ad” stuck in my head (not really a bad thing). Someone mentioned Dorothy Parker. Here’s another: “I never liked a man I didn’t meet.” (_Dorothy Parker and the Vicious Circle_ is full of them.) ---

Okay…if we’re going to go with real quotes instead of fractured ones, here’s two of my favourites that reflect my fractured personality. “Have no truck with first impulses as they are always generous ones.” “Cynicism is intellectual dandyism.” anonymouse ---

I felt sad because I had no shoes - then I met a man with no feet. “Hey” I said, “Got any shoes you don’t want?” Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then if he does not like your judgement, he is a mile away and barefoot. Nothing is foolproof. Fools are too ingenious. ---

I once knew a guy who said things like: “There was a bunch of people writing bad checks, but Monkey Ward was the only one that prostituted them.” He also read a newspaper article that said Baltimore pulls three tons of derbis out of the harbor every week. Possibly he was related to the woman who spoke of a relative who was a “sinus” who “spearminted” on guinea pigs. She didn’t know why they call them guinea pigs, unless it was because they spearminted on them. ---

“If at first you don’t succeed - get a bigger hammer.” “Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today - 'cause if you like it today, then you can do it _again_ tomorrow.” “A boob in the hand is worth two in the blouse.” “People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” One I’ve never _quite_ understood: “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t paint him pink.” And my personal favorite: “A fool and his money are a girl’s best friend.” ---

You can lead a horse’s ass to water, but you can’t make him think. Coito ergo sum. Copying is the sincerest form of plagiarism. If you can’t say something nice, say it twice.
