Perhaps you have seen this before, perhaps not. But still fun to read, or 
read again.


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.  Just pretty much           
   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. Sex is like air.  It's not important unless you aren't getting any.

    5. Don't be irreplaceable.  If you can't be replaced, you can't be
         promoted.

    6. Always remember that you're unique.  Just like everyone else.

    7. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

    8. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of
        car payments.

    9. 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.

    10. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

    11. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Teach him how to
        fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

    12. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
         probably worth it

    13. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

    14. Some days you're the bug; some days you're the windshield.

    15. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

    16. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes 
from bad judgment.

    17. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put 
it back in your pocket.

    18. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

    19. Duct tape is like the Force.  It has a light side and a dark side,
         and it holds the universe together.

    20. There are two theories to arguing with women.  Neither one works.

    21. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are
         moving.

    22. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

    23. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

    24. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our butts.  
Then things get worse.

    25. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative 
on the same night.

    26. There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

    27. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take anything 
you say too seriously.

    28. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to 
make a big deal about your birthday... around age 11

    29. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

    30. No one is listening until you fart.
