Subj: If You
Can... (S255, S486)
From: KMACINTY on 12/17/2001
and
From: darrell94590 on 5/12/2006
If you can start the day without
caffeine or pep pills,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring
aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining
and boring people with your
troubles,
If you can eat the same food
everyday and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when loved
ones are too busy to give
you time,
If you can overlook people taking
things out on you when,
through no fault
of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and
blame without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend's
limited education and
never correct him,
If you can resist treating a
rich friend better than
a poor friend,
If you can face the world without
lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without
medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can honestly say that
deep in your heart you have
no prejudice against
creed, color, religion, sexual
orientation or
politics,
If you can always sleep without
the aid of drugs,
Then........
You are probably the family dog.

Subj: Truisms
(S230)
From: JBCARY1 on 6/20/2001
1. What's the definition of
a teenager? God's punishment
for; enjoying
sex.
2. Define Transvestite: A guy
who likes to eat, drink and
be Mary!
3. What's the difference between
the Pope and your boss?
The Pope
only expects you to kiss his ring.
4. My mind works like lightning.
One brilliant flash and
it is gone.
5. The only time the world beats
a path to your door is
if you're
in the bathroom.
6. I hate sex in the movies.
Tried it once and the
seat folded
up.
7. It used to be only death
and taxes were inevitable.
Now, of course,
there's shipping and handling, too.
8. A husband is someone who
takes out the trash and gives
the impression
he just cleaned the whole house.
9. My next house will have no
kitchen -- just vending
machines.
10. The only thing wrong with
a perfect drive to work is
that you
end up at work.
11. Americans are getting stronger.
Twenty years ago,
it took two
people to carry ten dollars' worth of
groceries.
Today, a five-year-old can do it.
12. Blondie told her friend,
"I was worried that my
mechanic
might try to rip me off, so I was relieved
when he told
me all I needed was "blinker fluid."
13. Why is a government worker
like a shotgun with a
broken firing
pin? It won't work and you can't fire it.
14. I'm so depressed...I went
to the doctor today and he
refused to
write me a prescription for Viagra. Said
it would
be like putting a new flagpole on a condemned
building.

Subj: Money
(S195)
From: gheckman on 10/27/2000
It can buy you a House
But not a Home
It can buy you a Bed
But not Sleep
It can buy you a Clock
But not Time
It can buy you a Book
But not Knowledge
It can buy you a Position
But not Respect
It can buy you Medicine
But not Health
It can buy you Blood
But not Life
It can buy you Sex
But not Love
So you see, money isn't everything.
The best things in life can't
be bought,
and often we destroy ourselves
trying!
I tell you all this because
I am your Friend,
and as your Friend I want to
take away your
needless pain and suffering...
So send me all your money, and
I will suffer for you.
A truer Friend than me you will
never find. :-)
CASH ONLY, PLEASE.
P. S. Send this to 10 other people.
I'd like to be
their friends as well...

Subj: We'd
Like To See On Office Posters (S187)
From: JCary on 08/25/2000
TOP 10 SAYINGS WE'D LIKE
TO SEE ON THOSE INSPIRATIONAL
OFFICE POSTERS
1. Rome did not create a great
empire by having meetings,
they did
it by killing all those who opposed them.
2. If you can stay calm, while
all around you is chaos...
then you
probably haven't completely understood the
seriousness
of the situation.
3. Doing a job RIGHT the first
time gets the job done.
Doing the
job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.
4. Eagles may soar, but weasels
don't get sucked into jet
engines.
5. Artificial Intelligence is
no match for Natural
Stupidity
6. A person who smiles in the
face of adversity... probably
has a scapegoat.
7. Plagiarism saves time.
8. If at first you don't succeed, try management.
9. Never put off until tomorrow
what you can avoid
altogether.
10. TEAMWORK... means never having
to take all the blame
yourself.

Subj: Exercise
Tips (S180)
From: gheckman on 7/11/00
It is well documented that for
every mile that you jog....you
add one minute to your life.
This enables you at 85 years
old to spend an additional 5
months in a nursing home at $5000
per month
1 - My grandmother started walking
five miles a day when she
was 60. She's 97 now and
we don't know where the hell she is.
2- The only reason I would take
up jogging is so that I could
hear heavy breathing again.
3- I joined a health club last
year, spent about 400 bucks.
Haven't lost a pound. Apparently
you have to show up.
4- I have to exercise early in
the morning before my brain
figures out what I'm doing.
5- I don't exercise at all.
If God meant us to touch our
toes, he would have put
them further up our body.
6- I like long walks, especially
when they are taken by
people who annoy me.
7- I have flabby thighs, but
fortunately my stomach covers
them.
8 - The advantage of exercising
every day is that you die
healthier.
9- If you are going to try cross-county
skiing, start with
a small country.
and last but not least ........
10- I don't jog, it makes the
ice jump right out of my
vodka tonic.

Subj: Government
Photos (S155)
From: gheckman on 01/22/2000
This is wild, but I found this
website that uses government
files to find an actual photograph
of ANYBODY. I was shocked
to find that with no trouble
at all, it brought up an (old)
picture of me. You should see
if they have you in the database
too!

Subj: Philosophy
Of Life (S148)
From: JOKE-OF-THE-DAY.com on 11/29/1999
Life is an endless struggle,
full of frustrations and
challenges, but eventually you
find a hair stylist you
like.
The real art of conversation
is not only to say the right
thing in theright place, but
also to leave unsaid the wrong
thing at the tempting moment.
Time may be a great healer but it's also a lousy beautician.
Brain cells come and go but fat cells live forever.
Life not only begins at forty, it begins to show.
You don't stop laughing because
you grow old; you grow old
because you stop laughing.
It is bad to suppress laughter;
it goes back down and spreads
to your hips.
Age is important only if you're cheese and wine.
The only time a woman wishes
that she were a year older is
when she is expecting a baby.
Inside some of us is a thin person
struggling to get out, but
he/she can usually be sedated
with a few pieces of chocolate
cake.

Subj: Thoughts
for the Day (S147)
From: RFSlick on 11/21/1999
A friend sent this to me:
1) Before you criticize
someone, you should walk a mile in
his
shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a
mile
away from him and you have his shoes.
2) A bus station is where
a bus stops. A train station is
where
a train stops. On my desk I have a work station
3) I believe five out
of four people have trouble with
fractions.
4) If quitters never win,
and winners never quit, what fool
came
up with, "Quit while you're ahead?"
5) Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?
6) What hair color do
they put on the driver's licenses
of
bald men?
7) I was thinking that
women should put pictures of missing
husbands
on beer cans.
8) My grandmother told
me that at her age, going braless
pulls
all the wrinkles out of her face.
9) I was thinking about
how people seem to read the Bible
a whole
lot more as they get older. Then it dawned on
me
- they were cramming for their finals.
10) Employment applications
always ask who is to be notified
in
case of emergency. I write "A very good doctor."

Subj: Guidelines
For Enlightenment (S140)
by Swami Beyondananda
From: smiles on 09/16/1999
1. Be a Fundamentalist--make
sure the Fun always comes before
the mental.
Realize that life is a situation comedy that
will never
be canceled. A laugh track has been provided,
and the reason
why we are put in the material world is to
get more
material. Have a good laughsitive twice a day,
and that
will ensure regularhilarity.
2. Remember that each of us
has been given a special gift,
just for
entering - so you are already a winner!
3. The most powerful tool on
the planet today is Tell-A-
Vision.
That is where I tell a vision to you, and you
tell a vision
to me. That way, if we don't like the
programming
we're getting, we can simply change the
channel.
4. Life is like photography. You use the negative to develop.
5. It is true. As we go through
life thinking heavy thoughts,
thought particles
tend to get caught between the ears,
causing a
condition called truth decay. So be sure to use
mental floss
twice a day. And when you're tempted to
practice
tantrum yoga, remember what we teach in Swami's
Absurdiveness
Training class: *Don't get even, get odd.*
6. If we want world peace, we
must let go of our attachments
and truly
live like nomads. That's where I no mad at you,
you no mad
at me. That way, there'll surely be nomadness
on the planet.
And peace begins with each of us. A
little peace
here, a little peace there, pretty soon all
the peaces
will fit together to make one big peace
everywhere.
7. I know great earth changes
have been predicted for the
future, so
if you're looking to avoid earthquakes, my
advice is
simple. When you find a fault, just don't
dwell on
it.
8. There's no need to change
the world. All we have to do
is toilet
train the world, and we'll never have to
change it
again.
9. If you're looking to find
the key to the Universe, I
have some
bad news and some good news. The bad news
is: there
is no key to the Universe. The good news
is: it has
been left unlocked.
10. Finally, everything I have
told you is channeled. That
way, if you
don't like it, it's not my fault. And
remember,
enlightenment is not a bureaucracy. So we
don't have
to go through channels.

Subj: Contest
of Theories (S134)
From: gsm on 8/22/99
A contest was held for people
to submit their theories on ANY
subject. Below are the
winners:
4th RUNNER-UP (Subject: Probability
Theory): If an infinite
number of rednecks riding in
an infinite number of pickup trucks
fire an infinite number of shotgun
rounds at an infinite number
of highway signs, they will
eventually produce all the world's
great literary works in Braille.
3rd RUNNER-UP (Subject: Bio-Mechanics):
Why Yawning Is Contagious:
You yawn to equalize the pressure
on your eardrums. This pressure
change outside your eardrums
unbalances other people's ear pressures,
so they then yawn to even it
out.
2nd RUNNER-UP (Subject: Symbolic
Logic): Communist China is
technologically underdeveloped
because they have no alphabet and
therefore cannot use acronyms
to communicate technical ideas at a
faster rate.
1st RUNNER-UP (Subject: Newtonian
Mechanics): The earth may spin
faster on its axis due to deforestation.
Just as a figure skater's
rate of spin increases when
the arms are brought in close to the
body, the cutting of tall trees
may cause our planet to spin
dangerously fast.
HONORABLE MENTION (Subject: Linguistics):
The quantity of consonants
in the English language is constant.
If omitted in one place, they
turn up in another. When a Bostonian
"pahks his cah," the lost R's
migrate southwest, causing a
Texan to warsh" his car and invest in
"erl" wells.
GRAND PRIZE WINNER (Subject:
Perpetual Motion): When a cat is dropped,
it always lands on its feet,
and when toast is dropped, it always
lands buttered side down. It
was proposed to strap giant slabs of hot
buttered toast to the back of
a hundred tethered cats; the two
opposing forces will cause the
cats to hover, spinning inches above
the ground. Using the giant
buttered toast-cat array, a high-speed
monorail could easily link New
York with Chicago.

The Feline Butterology Theory' in PHYSICS1)

Subj: Words
To Live By - Humorous (S72)
From: RFSlick on 98-06-17
(See 'Words To Live By'
in THOUGHTS-LEARNED1)
I can please only one person
per day. Today is not
your day. Tomorrow isn't
looking good either.
I don't have an attitude problem.
You have a
perception problem.
I love deadlines. I especially
like the whooshing
sound they make when they go
flying by.
Two wrongs don't make a right,
but three rights
make a left.
If swimming is so good for your
figure, how do you
explain whales?
Am I getting smart with you? How would you know?
I'm not just a gardener, I'm a Plant Manager.
My reality check bounced.
On the keyboard of life, always
keep one finger
on the escape key.
I have not yet begun to procrastinate.
SLOW IS: A herd of turtles
stampeding through
chunky peanut butter.
I don't suffer from stress. I'm a carrier.
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
There are two rules for ultimate
success in life:
1.
Never tell everything you know.
I'd explain it to you, but your brain would explode.
Tell me what you need, and I'll
tell you how to
get along without it.
Eagles may soar, but weasels
don't get
sucked into jet engines.
From: humorlist-digest V2 #31 on 98-02-01
If at first you don't succeed,
destroy all evidence
that you tried.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
Experience is something you don't
get until
just after you need it.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
He who hesitates is probably right.
No one is listening until you make a mistake.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.
The colder the X-ray table, the
more of your body is
required on it.
The hardness of the butter is
proportional to the
softness of the bread.
The severity of the itch is proportional to the reach.
To steal ideas from one person
is plagiarism;
to
steal from many is research.
Two wrongs are only the beginning.
You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.
The sooner you fall behind, the
more time you'll have to
catch up.
Change is inevitable....except from vending machines.
Don't sweat petty things....or pet sweaty things.
Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.
If you think nobody cares about
you, try missing
a couple of payments.
I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Everybody repeat after me....."We are all individuals."
Death to all fanatics!
Love may be blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.
Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of cheques.
Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
Borrow money from pessimists-they don't expect it back.
Half the people you know are below average.
99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
If at first you don't succeed,
then
skydiving definitely isn't for
you.

Subj: Cynics
Guide To Life (S213, S495c)
From: RFSlick on 3/1/2001
and
From: drgolfmd 7/22/2006
also called 'Now and Zen' and 'Daily moment of zen:'
1. Do not walk behind
me,
for I may not lead.
Do not walk ahead of me,
for I may not follow.
Do not walk beside me, either.
Leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey
of a thousand miles begins
with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.
3. It's always darkest
before dawn.
So if you're going to steal your neighbor's
newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Don't be
irreplaceable. If you can't be
replaced, you can't be promoted.
5. No one
is listening until
you make a mistake.
6. Always
remember you're unique.
Just like everyone else.
7. Never test
the depth of the
water with both feet.
8. It may
be that your sole purpose in life
is simply to serve as a warning to others.
9. It is far
more impressive when others discover
your good qualities without your help.
10. If you think
nobody cares if you're alive,
try missing a couple of car payments.
11. Before you criticize
someone, you should walk
a mile in their shoes. That way, when you
criticize them, you're a mile away and you
have their shoes.
12. If at first you don't
succeed,
skydiving is not for you.
13. Give a man a fish
and he will eat for a day.
Teach
him how to fish, and he will sit in
boat drink beer all day.
14. If you lend someone
$20, and never see that
person again, it was probably worth it.
15. Don't squat with your
spurs on.
16. If you tell the truth,
you don't have to remember anything.
17. Some days you are
the bug,
some days you are the windshield.
18. Good judgment comes
from bad experience,
and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
19. Timing has an awful
lot to do with the
outcome of a rain dance.
20. A closed mouth gathers
no foot.
21. Duct tape is like
the force.
It has a light side a dark side,
and it holds the universe together.
22. Experience is something
you don't get
until just after you need it.
23. We are born naked,
wet, and hungry.
Then things get worse.
24. I believe for every
drop of rain that falls,
a flower grows. And a foundation leaks and
a ball game gets rained out and a car rusts and...
25. Follow your dream!
Unless it's the one where
you're at work in your underwear during a fire drill.
26. Always take time to
stop and smell the roses...
and sooner or later, you'll inhale a bee.
27. If you don't like
my driving, don't call anyone.
Just take another road. That's why the highway
department made so many of them.
28. A handy telephone
tip: Keep a small chalkboard near
the phone. That way, when a salesman calls, you can
hold the receiver up to it and run your fingernails
across it until he hangs up.
29. Each day I try to
enjoy something from each of the
four food groups: the bonbon group, the salty-snack
group, the caffeine group, and the thing-in-tin-
foil-in-the-back-of-the-fridge group.
30. Into every life some
rain must fall. Usually when
your car windows are down.
31. Just remember... You
gotta break some eggs to make
a real mess on the neighbor's car!
32. When you find yourself
getting irritated with someone,
try to remember that all men are brothers... and just
give them a noogie or an Indian burn.
33. This morning I woke
up to the unmistakable scent of
pigs in a blanket. That's the price you pay for
letting the relatives stay over.
34. It's a small world.

you can't wait to throw up.

as opposed to a surprise party. -- Jimmy Buffett

think every day is a good day,

Subj: Deep
Thoughts
From: V-lewis on 97-04-29
From a newspaper contest where
entrants were asked to
imitate "DeepThoughts" by Jack
Handey, from Saturday
Night Live. Winning entrants
are at the end:
Honorable Mentions:
My young son asked me what happens
after we die. I told
him we get buried under a bunch
of dirt and worms eat our
bodies. I guess I should
have told him the truth-- that
most of us go to Hell and burn
eternally-- but I didn't
want to upset him.
It sure would be nice if we got
a day off for the
president's birthday, like they
do for the queen. Of
course, then we would have a
lot of people voting for
a candidate born on July 3 or
December 26, just for the
long weekends.
Democracy is a beautiful thing,
except for that part about
letting just any old yokel vote.
Home is where the house is.
Often, when I am reading a good
book, I stop and thank my
teacher. That is, I used
to, until she got an unlisted
number.
You can lead a horse to water
but you can't make
him gargle.
As you make your way through
this hectic world of ours,
set aside a few minutes each
day. At the end of the year,
you'll have a couple of days
saved up.
It would be terrible if the Red
Cross Bloodmobile got into
an accident. No, wait.
That would be good because if
anyone needed it, the blood
would be right there.
Give me the strength to change
the things I can, the grace
to accept the things I cannot,
and a great big bag of money.
The people who think Tiny Tim
is strange are the same ones
who think it odd that I drive
without pants.
For centuries, people thought
the moon was made of green
cheese. Then the astronauts
found that the moon as really
a big hard rock. That's
what happens to cheese when you
leave it out.
Think of the biggest number you
can. Now add five. Then,
imagine if you had that many
Twinkies. Wow, that's five
more than the biggest number
you could come up with!
I bet living in a nudist colony
takes all the fun out of
Halloween.
The only stupid question is the
one that is never asked,
except maybe "Don't you think
it is about time you audited
my return?" or "Isn't is morally
wrong to give me a warning
when, in fact, I was speeding?"
Once, I wept for I had no shoes.
Then I came upon a man
who had no feet. So I
took his shoes. I mean, it's not
like he really needed them,
right?
When I go to heaven, I want to
see my grandpa again. But
he better have lost the nose
hair and the old-man smell.
I believe you should live each
day as if it is your last,
which is why I don't have any
clean laundry, because, come
on, who wants to wash clothes
on the last day of their life?
I often wonder how come John
Tesh isn't as popular singer
as some people think he should
be. Then, I remember it's
because he sucks.
Whenever I start getting sad
about where I am in my life,
I think about the last words
of my favorite uncle: "A truck!"
If you really want to impress
people with your computer
literacy, add the words "dot
com" to the end of everything
you say, dot com.
I like to go down to the dog
pound and pretend that I've
found my dog. Then I tell
them to kill it anyway because
I already gave away all of his
stuff. Dog people sure
don't have a sense of humor.
THIRD RUNNER UP
I don't know about you, but I
enjoy watching paint dry.
I imagine that the wet paint
is a big freshwater lake that
is the only source of water
for some tiny cities by the
lake. As the lake gets
drier, the population gets more
desperate, and sometimes there
are water riots. Once
there was a big fire and everyone
died.
SECOND RUNNER UP
I once heard the voice of God.
It said "Vrrrrmmmmm."
Unless it was just a lawn mower.
FIRST RUNNER UP
I gaze at the brilliant full
moon. The same one, I think
to myself, at which Socrates,
Aristotle, and Plato gazed.
Suddenly, I imagine they appear
beside me. I tell Socrates
about the national debate over
one's right to die and
wonder at the constancy of the
human condition. I tell
Plato that I live in the country
that has come the closest
to Utopia, and I show him a
copy of the Constitution. I
tell Aristotle that we have
found many more than four basic
elements and I show him a periodic
table. I get a box of
kitchen matches and strike one.
They gasp with wonder. We
spend the rest of the night
lighting farts.
WINNER
If we could just get everyone
to close their eyes and
visualize world peace for an
hour, imagine how serene
and quiet it would be, until
the looting started.

Subj: "Deep
Thoughts" by Jack Handey (S224)
From: ICohen on 5/15/2001
From "DeepThoughts" by Jack Handey, from Saturday Night Live.
Before criticizing someone, walk
a mile in their shoes. Then
when you do criticize them,
you will be a mile away and have
their shoes.
=======
If you ever drop your keys into
a river of molten lava, let
'em go, because, man, they're
gone.
=======
If trees could scream, would
we be so cavalier about cutting
them down? We might, if
they screamed all the time, for no
good reason.
=======
To me, it's a good idea to always
carry two sacks of something
when you walk around.
That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can
you give me a hand?" You
can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."
=======
The face of a child can say
it all, especially the mouth part
of the face.
=======
I believe in making the world
safe for our children, but not
our children's children, because
I don't think children should
be having sex.
=======
If a kid asks where rain comes
from, I think a cute thing to
tell him is, "God is crying."
And if he asks why God is crying,
another cute thing to tell him
is, "Probably because of
something you did."
=======
If you ever catch on fire, try
to avoid seeing yourself in the
mirror,because I bet that's
what REALLY throws you into a panic.
=======
Whenever I see an old lady slip
and fall on a wet sidewalk, my
first instinct is to laugh.
But then I think, what if I was an
ant and she fell on me.
Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.
=======
To me, boxing is like a ballet,
except there's no music, no
choreography and the dancers
hit each other.
=======
I hope if dogs ever take over
the world and they choose a king,
they don't just go by size,
because I bet there are some
Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
=======
If you go flying back through
time and you see somebody else
flying forward into the future,
it's probably best to avoid
eye contact.
=======
It's easy to sit there and say
you'd like to have more money.
And I guess that's what I like
about it. It's easy. Just
sitting there, rocking back
and forth, wanting that money.
=======
If you ever reach total enlightenment
while you're drinking
a beer, I bet it makes beer
shoot out your nose.

Subj: Feeling
Stressed? (S78, S528c)
From: Bawdy.Net Collage #261 on 98-07-25
Picture yourself near a stream...
Birds are softly chirping in the crisp, cool mountain air...
Nothing can bother you here...
No one knows this secret place...
You are in total seclusion from that place called The World...
The soothing sound of a gentle
waterfall fills the air with
a cascade of serenity...
The water is clear...
You can easily make out the face
of the person whose head
you're holding under the water...
There now... feeling better?
