Took time to learn!

THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 60 YEARS TO LEARN
by Dave Barry

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

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has
not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would
be "meetings."

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

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never
want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling
reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests
that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging
from her at that moment.

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

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age,
gender,religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down
inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice
person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur
built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

16. FINAL Thought for the day: Men are like a fine wine. They start out as
grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn
into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Now there, doesn't that just touch your heart?

LOL! Laughed at #1, winced at #7, and sighed at #13 (My own Mother is very rude to waiters, clerks, to the point where they see her coming a mile away. We, her children, however make it a point to smile at the waiters, giving them a generous tip, which infuriates her even more!). Funny list!

Great list. LOL! :lol:

And I think my weather hobby has crossed the fine line mentioned in #3:

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

:wink:

That's why I no longer tell folks weather and storms is my "hobby". I was tired of the strange looks I kept getting
....especially those from my dad :D :D
