APHORISMS-
1. The nicest thing about the future is . . . That it always starts tomorrow.
2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
3. If you don’t have a sense of humor, you probably don’t have any sense at all.
4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.
5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you’re in deep water.
6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?
7. Business conventions are important . . . because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
8. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?
9. Scratch a cat . . . And you will have a permanent job.
10. No one has more driving ambition than the teenage boy who wants to buy a car.
11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.
12. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 a.m. – like, it could be the right number.
13. No one ever says “It’s only a game” when their team is winning.
14. I’ve reached the age where ‘happy hour’ is a nap.
15. Be careful about reading the fine print . . . there’s no way you’re going to like it.
16. The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
17. Do you realize that, in about 40 years, we’ll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)
18. Money can’t buy happiness — but somehow it’s more comfortable to cry in a Cadillac than in a Yugo.
19. After 60, if you don’t wake up aching in every joint, you’re probably dead.
20. Always be yourself because the people that matter don’t mind . . . And the ones that mind don’t matter.
21. Life isn’t tied with a bow . . . But it’s still a gift.
“REMEMBER….POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS SHOULD BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON”.
And one more contrast on the Occupy crap…
Both pictures were taken on December the 7th of the respective years…
And HERE is a link to a good post by Mike McDaniel over at Gun Values Board about women, shooting and gun ownership. Mike used to be one of the writers at Confederate Yankee…
And once again, the House has passed a bill to keep the government funded and extend payroll tax cuts, and sent it to the Senate, and SFB Reid says it’s DOA… At this point, I’d happily just tell them to shut the damn government down and ALL of them go home…
My mantra for 2012 is Re-Elect = NONE!!!
Too many of these are uncomfortably true. But good, just the same.
I particularly appreciate #7.
#17 is close to why I told my daughter she can’t get a tattoo. Eventually, she’ll be as saggy as her grandmother.
Term limits YES.
Liked them all.
#20 has always been a favorite of mine.
With you on the re-elect none. They are not reflecting the will of the people, only their own avarice. Harry Reid and the Dem-dominated Senate has blocked anything done by the House. The MSM conveniently ignores that fact, every time.
The picture of the two groups of young people at the end shows what a sad, sad state of affairs we’re in these days….
The photo at the end is most telling of our society.
“Tattoo” was on my daughter’s Christmas list.
My response:
“Not now. Not ever. No way. Get a job. Merry Christmas.”
I’m “The Grinch” now…
Rev- Agreed!
Andy- Oh yeah…
DB- LOL, but that’s not ‘fair’… 🙂
WSF- Agreed!
SS- Yep!
MC- Concur!!!
drjim/MrG- Ain’t it the truth!
MSGT- BTDT 🙂 They DO get over it (eventually)…
Like the comparative photo – unfortunately I think the group on the left may have it’s roots in the generation on the right trying to overcompensate for the hardships they endured, which ended up producing a lot of spoiled brats.
#6 is the one I fear the most at the moment. That time will come all too soon.
#14 IS MY FAORITE
“17. Do you realize that, in about 40 years, we’ll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)”
That should read…
Little old ladies with tatoos, body piercings and perky tits.
BTW, rap, is not music.
Including Buck McKeon?
Ronald Reagan (if he were alive)?

I never vote for an incumbent, unless he’s a Libertarian or Constitution Party (and votes like it). I either vote for the other wing of the Party of Treason or Libertarian.
w.v. bumney Perhaps a new moniker?
My father told me he’d rather see my sister in a whorehouse than me in a seatbelt. Then he beat me bloody with a sjambok. That was my ninth birthday.
Sorry for the lack of comments, on the road and using iPhone is just NOT conducive to answering posts… Sorry
