"Why are they called apartments when they are stuck together?" Steven Wright

 

[OregonGuy]

This life is a test. It is only a test. If this had been a real life, you would've been given instructions about where to go and what to do.

What is necessary to pass? Hopefully its something like "be kind to, and considerate of, others"

"Today is the day after tomorrow you worried about the day before yesterday." Rindee

"If you can't bite don't bark"

I suggest you ladies use that reply when some reprobate hits on you.

From an old Excedrin commercial..."When something works, that's what you use".
And my very peace loving, late cousin used to say..."Don't start no rootin' and tootin', won't be no cuttin' and shootin'"

To be honest, I never thought it through that much. I like it just as a statement.

Thank you! I will look those up. I really do love that book.

Knowing the chapter it is in probably more useful than page number as it might be on different pages in different editions, in a hardcover versus paperback.

Don't be sad that it's over,
Be glad that it happened.

"What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." This has recently become my favorite saying/quote. I used to be so nice and always listening to everyone, respecting their opinions because I believed this would make the world a better place. I'm an American and a month or so ago, I learned this is not so. Being nice here is considered a personality flaw.

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander means getting revenge on someone who's hurt you. It's getting even. Is it petty? Sure. Does it feel good? Better than sex.

Of course. Shuts guys down immediately. First time I heard it was when a woman said it at the top of her voice in a bar ... the guy left as everyone broke into laughter!

Don't be sad that it's over,
Be glad that it happened.

Same as
Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved.
True, but still bitter sweet.

W. Shakespeare

This one has served me well of late:

"You will never reach your destination,
If you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks."

~W Churchill

This isn't a saying but it serves the same purpose as a witty retort.

ask the person Do you know why they do not educate mules?
after the person responds ...
reply because nobody likes a smart ass !

The running gag in my family is better to be a smart ass than dumb ass.

Most lives are full of 'bitter/sweet' moments and events, and so many people forget that love comes in many forms---romantic/passionate love is not the only form it takes.

"If you ship doesn't come in, swim out to it." Jonathan Winters.... (I am not a good swimmer Jonathan, so I hope my ship does come in lol!).

The word "schadenfreude" comes to mind!

Hahaha. Sure, I'm fine, Twostep. The quote was just something I heard at church today. Hope you are well; Merry Christmas.
