An elderly gentleman with a wicked sense of humor forwarded these to me and gave me quite a chuckle, so I thought I'd share them for anyone else in need of a giggle or two (I especially loved the second one, but almost all of them hit the spot to one degree or other):

Good Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.
[Hey! I resemble that remark!]

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?

In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

I had amnesia once -- or twice.

Protons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic.

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

If the world were a logical place, men would ride horses sidesaddle.

What is a "free" gift? Aren't all gifts free?

They told me I was gullible .. and I believed them.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to merge his car onto a freeway.

Two can live as cheaply as one, for half as long.

Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

One nice thing about egotists: They don't talk about other people.

A flashlight is a case for holding dead batteries.

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity.

Is Marx's tomb a communist plot?

Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, and I'll show you a man who can't get his pants off.

It's not an optical illusion. It just looks like one.

Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken?



Well, I thought they were funny, anyway!

Yes! And bikes. Bikes. Who put that crossbar on boys' bikes, a sadist?

Indeed! That has always seemed to me to require boys and men to live unnecessarily dangerously! Was it a macho thing, perhaps? Like ritual scarification or other rites of passage that require dangerous and painful activities?

Ooh! I love it. Very wise, indeed.

The cost of living hasn't affected its popularity. Hee. Most definitely

I love that one, and "Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again"!

Oh dear. That's me!

Ditto -- or at least, that WAS me, before I lived in New Jersey and on Long Island for too many years, and now I try to balance politeness with firmness and a tolerance for very close calls when merging into traffic! If there's two inches of spare room between my car and the cars around me, I'm good with that.
