TODAY’S SMILE
Wisdom and . . . .
There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot.
I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.
Did you ever walk into a room and forget why you walked in?
I think that's how dogs spend their lives.
Thousands of years ago, cats were worshiped as gods.
Cats have never forgotten this.
Don't worry about the world ending today . . .
It's already tomorrow in Australia.
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
Character is what you are.
Reputation is what people think you are.
Nobody will ever win the battle of the sexes.
There's too much fraternizing with the enemy.
Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
I have several hobbies I enjoy to the fullest.
I have a large sea shell collection I keep scattered on all the beaches all over the world.
Maybe you've seen it?
A man usually feels better after a few winks,
especially if she winks back.
Friends may come and go,
but enemies accumulate.

By that time his eyes focus well enough to see you clearly.
A man who says marriage is a 50-50 proposition doesn't understand two things:

There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
If at first you don't succeed . . .
well, so much for sky diving.
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it. If you can't ignore it, top it. If you can't top it, laugh at it. If you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
He who hesitates is sometimes saved
SOMETHING TO DO FOR LENT
