I don't necessarily agree with everything I say. I don't say we all ought to misbehave, but we ought to look as if we could. I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it. I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. …I want to achieve it through not dying. I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years. --Sam Kinison I doubt, therefore I might be.

I either want less corruption, or more chances to participate in it. I finally made my stupid computer faster; I dropped it out of the window, and it went really fast. I find it fascinating that most people plan their vacations with better care than they plan their lives. I had a friend once. Then the rope broke and he got away. I had a life once... now I have a computer and a modem. I have a dream: 1073741824 bytes free. I have changed my mind a dozen times. It seems to work better now. I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something. I have faith in fools, my friends call it self-confidence. I have four brain cells left, and at the moment, they seem to be arguing. I have gotten to the age where I need my false teeth & hearing aid before I can ask where I left my glasses. I have learned that the God didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can? I have learnt UNIX, PASCAL, C, FORTRAN, COBOL, and nineteen other high-tech words. I have no particular talent, I am merely extremely inquisitive. (Albert Einstein) I have nothing to declare...... except my genius. -- Oscar Wilde to customs official I have noticed that the people who are late are often so much jolier than the people who have to wait for them. - E.V. Lucas I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't care. I have to exercise in the morning before my brain figures out who I am. I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months – I don't like to interrupt her. I intend to live for ever, or die in the attempt. I just got lost in thought. . . . It was unfamiliar territory. I just want revenge. Is that so wrong?

I know it all. I just can't remember it all at once. I know Karate, Kung Fu, Taekwando ...and several other Japanese words. I know you know what I think I said, but I'm not sure you realize what you heard isn’t what I meant. I like pigs better than cat and dogs. Dogs look up to man. Cats are aloof and look down on man. A pig, however, will look you in the eye, and see his equal. (Winston Churchill) I like you. You remind me of times when I was young and stupid. I lost twenty pounds in a single day. I was in England at the time. I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by. I married Miss right; I just didn't know her first name was Always. I may look like an idiot & talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. I really am an idiot. I must confess, I was born at a very early age. -- Groucho Marx I must say that I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a book. (Groucho Marx) I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.-- Groucho Marx I never spit in your drink; why do you smoke in my air? I never think of the future. It comes soon enough.--Albert Einstein I only go to work on days that don't end in a 'y'. -- Robert Paul I plan to be spontaneous tomorrow. I ran up the door, closed the stairs, said my pajamas, put on my prayers, turned off the bed, jumped in my light, all because you kissed me goodnight. I refuse to engage in an intellectual battle with an armed man. I say no to drugs……. they just don't listen. I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear loose fitting clothing. If I "had" any loose fitting clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place! I started out with nothing & still have most of it left. I suffer from chronic apathy, I was going to go see a doctor about it, but I didn't really care.

I suffer occasional delusions of adequacy. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back to home always. I took a speed reading course and read 'War and Peace' in twenty minutes. It involves Russia. I tñld yoñ, "Neverñtouch ñhe flopñy disk sñrface!" I used to be an Atheist, until I found out I was God. I used to have a photographic memory, but it was never developed.... I was born intelligent -education ruined me. I was going to waste, but God recycled me. I was thrown out of college for cheating on the metaphysics exam. I looked into the soul of the boy next to me. (Woody Allen) I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.---Steven Wright I wear my wife's eyeglasses because she wants me to see things her way. (Jayson Feinburg) I wish life has a scroll back buffer. I won't rise to the occasion, but I'll slide over to it. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges? I wonder why you can always read a doctor's bill and never his prescription? I would rather lose a second in my life, than my life in a second. I xeroxed a mirror. Now I have an extra Xerox machine.---Steven Wright I'd explain it to you, but your brain would explode. I'd like to help you out…..which way did you come in? I'd love to make up my mind, but I can't remember where I left it. I'll need hourly status reports on why you're so behind --Dilbert's boss I'm a nobody, nobody is perfect, therefore I'm perfect. I'm as confused as a baby at a topless bar! I'm in shape. Round is a shape, isn't it? I'm married, please shoot me!

I'm not a complete idiot, there're still some parts missing! I'm not a vegetarian because I like animals. I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants. I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message. I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn how to worship me. I'm serious; it was a joke. I'm very responsible; whenever something goes wrong they always say I'm the one responsible. I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done. I'm writing an unauthorized autobiography. --Steven Wright I've been in love with the same woman for forty years. If my wife finds out, she'll kill me. I've got all the money I'll ever need if I die by 4 O’clock this afternoon. I've never been an intellectual but I have this look. I've never been drunk, but often I've been over served. If a man with multiple personalities tries to kill himself, would it be a suicide or a murder? If a person told you they were a pathological liar, should you believe them? If a train station is where the train stops, what is a work station? If a turtle does not have a shell on, is he homeless or naked? If a vegetarian is someone who eats vegetables, what does that make a humanitarian? If all else fails, read the directions. If all else fails, you must still be using Windows. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If Arsenic Fails, Try Algebra. If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0. If at first you don't succeed, redefine success. If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving isn't for you.

If at first you don't succeed, you must be using Windows... If at first you don't succeed... blame someone else and seek counseling. If crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? If helium existed in a solid form, and you ate it would you get heavier or lighter? If I have a good breakfast I can go without food for the rest of the day, that is until about lunchtime. If I held you any closer I would be on the other side of you. -- Groucho Marx If I try to be like him, who will be like me? (Yiddish proverb) If it were not for Thomas Edison, we would all be watching television in the dark. If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done. If it works, rip it apart and find out why. If nothing sticks to Teflon how do they stick Teflon to the pan? If only God would give me some clear proof of His existence.......like making a large deposit in my name in a Swiss bank. If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes? If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of congress? (Richard Lederer) If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2? If the cops arrest a mime do they tell him that he has the right to remain silent? If the human brain were simple enough to understand, we'd be too simple to understand it. If the universe is expanding, why can't I find a parking space? If the world is spinning so quickly why don't we all get dizzy? If vegetable oil is made of vegetables, what is baby oil made of? If we'd stop trying to be happy we could have a pretty good time. - Edith Wharton If you and your friend are being chased by a grizzly bear, don't worry about out-running the bear. Just worry about out-running your friend. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate. If you can read this, please flip me back over...(seen upside down, on a Jeep)

If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying? (Buddha) If you can't beat your computer at chess... try boxing. If you can't convince them, confuse them. (Harry S. Truman) If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, riddle them with bullets. If you can't laugh at yourself, you may be missing the joke of the century. If you can't say something nice, become a reporter. If you could kick the person responsible for most of your troubles in the backside, you wouldn't be able to sit down for two weeks. If you decide not to choose then you've already made the wrong choice! If you don't learn from your mistakes, there's no sense making them. If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it. If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail. If you have trouble getting your children's attention, just sit down and look comfortable. If you keep your feet firmly on the ground, you'll have trouble putting on your pants. If you learn from your mistakes, then why ain't I a genius? If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again; it was probably worth it. If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it. (Andrew A. Rooney) If you still have the courage after loosing all, be rest assured that you have not lost all. If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. (Mark Twain) If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of life insurance payments. If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep. If you're afraid of loneliness, do not marry. If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? If you're too open-minded, your brains might fall out.

If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife yelling at the front door, who do you let in first? The Dog of course... at least he'll shut up after u let him in! If your father is a poor man, it is your fate but, if your father-in-law is a poor man, it's your stupidity. If your parents never had children, chances are you won't, either. If, at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.--Albert Einstien Imagination is intelligence having fun. In a country of free speech, why are there phone bills? In a crisis that forces people to choose among alternative course of action, most people will choose the worst one possible. In a few minutes a computer can make a mistake so great that it would take many men many months to equal it. In a world with no walls or fences, who needs Windows and Gates? In all matters of opinion, our adversaries are insane. In communism, man oppresses man. In capitalism, it's the other way around. In Hollywood, they don't throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows. In the end, memories are all we got. Incompetence knows no barriers of time or place. Information is giving out. Communication is getting through. Ink, n.: A villainous compound of tannogallate of iron, gum-arabic, and water, chiefly used to facilitate the infection of idiocy and promote intellectual crime. Insanity is my only means of relaxation. Is "Intel Inside" a government warning required by law? Is ignorance or apathy the biggest problem with the world? I don't know and I don't care. Is the glass half empty, half full, or twice as large as it needs to be? Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"? It doesn't matter if you win or lose until you lose.

It doesn't matter what temperature the room is; it's always room-temperature. It had all the earmarks of a CIA operation; bomb killed everybody except the target. It has recently been discovered that research causes cancer in rats. It is a pleasure to give advice, humiliating to need it, and normal to ignore it. (O. Holmes) It is amazing how nice people are to you when they know you're going away. (M. Arlen) It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating. It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious. It is impossible to travel faster than light, and certainly not desirable, as the hat keeps blowing off. It is never easy being a mother. If it were easy, fathers would do it. It is OK to let your mind go blank, but please turn off the sound. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy. It now costs more to amuse a child than it once did to educate his father. It said "Insert disk 3..." but only 2 fit. It takes a lot of things to prove you are smart, but only one thing to prove you are ignorant. It takes one tree to make 10,000 matches, but one match to burn 10,000 trees. It works! Now if only I could remember what I did... It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world everyday always just exactly fits the newspaper.--- Jerry Seinfeld It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It's lonely at the top, but you eat better. It's not hard to meet expenses, they are everywhere. It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

It's not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end. It's not true that married men live longer than single men. It only seems longer. It's only unethical if you get caught. It's so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and say the opposite. John has been absent because he had two teeth taken out of his face. Join the army, see the world, meet interesting people, and kill them. Just because I have a short attention span doesn't mean I Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day watching TV. Instead I will move my TV into the bedroom. Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all. Just when I was getting used to yesterday along came today. Karl Marx's Mother: If Karl, instead of writing a lot about capital, had made a bit of it ... it would have been much better. Keep eye on many, but thoughts on one. Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

Let’s hang together, pals...else, we shall most assuredly be hanged separately. (Benjamin Franklin) Life is complex: it has both Real and Imaginary components. Life is like an analogy. Life is like an onion: you peel off layer after layer, and then you find there is nothing in it. Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans.--John Lennon Life is wonderful. Without it, you wouldn't know me. Life without danger is a waste of oxygen. Life's unfair -but having root password helps! Life, n.: a sexually transmitted disease that is 100% fatal. LIFE: Something you do until you die. Live your own life, for you will die your own death.

Madness isn't bad, as long as there's method in it. (Erasmus) Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change. Maintenance-free: When it breaks, it can't be fixed... Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot. Make love not war - marry and do both. Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain.-- Lily Tomlin Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason. Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue. ---Winston Churchill Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is husband. Marriage is a three-ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering. Marriage is an exam in which man loses his Bachelor's degree and woman gets her Masters. Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her since she'll take it anyway. Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind. Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence --a life sentence. Marriage is one of the chief causes of divorce. Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience. Marriage is when man and woman become one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one. Math and alcohol don't mix. Don't drink and derive.
