That crayon box thing? shudder It is nice to know I am not alone in my campaign to end the “giving X+100%.” I always base my reaction to “wow, that person can’t count.” and work down from there.
I hate any motivational claptrap. I hate it all.
You’re misusing the term. What *you’re *talking about, as I previously mentioned, is a compromise. If you know someone who refers to every compromise as a win-win situation, I can understand why you’d be frustrated, but that doesn’t mean there are no win-win situations, just that the person in question is a moron. You can’t argue that there’s no such thing as a horse because you’ve never seen one with wings.
Scroll up and check out gigi’s post (#53). There’s a good hypothetical of a win-win situation right there.
On the other hand, I love this motivational poster: http://elinema.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/captain-james-t-kirk-awesome1.jpg
Absolutely.
Say I have a computer that I have no use for and it is just taking up space. Say my friend has use for a computer. I give my friend my computer. Win for me, win for him.
I prefer this one. I think the pose fits the caption better.
As I saw Werner von Braun’s autobiography slightly retitled:
I Aimed for the Stars - But I Hit London.

Winter teaches a naked woman to find a man to give her a fur coat.

Those street signs you see in some neighborhoods saying “Drive Slowly - We (heart) Our Children” tempt me to hit the accelerator to see if I can pick off one of the little nippers.
In reality, of course, when driving I am always looking out for your kids, since you can’t be bothered. 
“The early bird gets the worm”
Didn’t work out too well for the worm.
“The Third Gear”? Not only useless, like a third wheel, but they actually gum up the works??
When I was growing up, there was an official street sign that read “BEWARE OF CHILDREN”.
Always put me in mind of packs of the little fiends ready to pounce on the unwary.
When life hands me lemons, I make huge, useless pyramids of rotting fruit!
:rolleyes: Anyone who says that is not arguing but whining.
[anything]: THE ANTI-DRUG
Retarded on so many levels . . .
THE RAISE BECOMES EFFECTIVE AS SOON AS YOU DO
Yeah, right . . . :rolleyes:
The Army recruiting ads of the early 2000s were both astonishingly stupid and astonishingly evil.
Problem is they didn’t use the entire statement.
fifteen years ago I shattered my heel. I was sitting at home feeling helpless and pissed, and in pain, when one of my co-workers who had shattered a leg in a motorcycle accident told me
Know what? He was 100% correct.
There’s the old classic, “A smile is a frown turned upside down !” So, I guess the solution to the unhappiness of the world is to hang everyone unhappy from the ceiling by their feet ?

Despite what it actually means, the phrase “child molestation” has always made me imagine headlines like “Santa Barbara Man Molests Three Children, Is Dragged Into Their Cage And Eaten”.
That which does not kill me hurts like a sonovabitch.
“The Early Worm Had Better Watch Out - It’s Better To Be Safe Than First”
I’m not sure where that one was going, but it seems to have gotten lost along the way.
