Today's Gentle Lessons of Life

Gentle Lessons of Life

When I'm feeling down,
I like to whistle.
It makes the neighbor's dog
run to the end of his chain and gag himself.
*************

A penny saved is obviously
the result of a government oversight.
*************

The real art of conversation
is not only to say the right thing
at the right time,
But also to leave unsaid
the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
**********

The older you get,
the tougher it is to lose weight,
because by then your body
and your fat have gotten to be
really good friends.
**********
The easiest way
to find something lost
around the house is to buy
a new replacement for it.
**********
He who hesitates
is probably doing the right thing.
**********

Did you ever notice:

The Roman Numerals for forty (40)
are 'XL.'
**********

If you think there is some good in everybody,
you obviously haven't met 'everybody'.
**********

If you can smile
when things go wrong,
you must have someone else in mind to blame.
**********

The sole purpose
of a child's middle name
is so that he can tell
when he's 'really' in trouble.
**********

There's always
a lot to be thankful for
if you take time to look for it.
For example,
I am sitting here thinking
how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.
**********

Did you ever notice:
When you put the 2 words
'The' and 'IRS' together it spells 'Theirs.'
*********
Aging: Eventually
you will reach a point
when you stop lying about your age
and start bragging about it.
*********
The older we get,
the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
**********
Some people
try to turn back
their life's odometers.
Not me,
I want people to know
'why' I look this way.
I've traveled a long, long way
and some of the roads weren't paved.
***********

When
you are dissatisfied
and would like to go back
to youth,
think of Algebra.
***********
You know you are getting old
when everything either dries up or leaks.
***********
Ah, being young is beautiful,
but being old is comfortable.
***********
