Saturday Fun

Before you know it, it's Saturday again. Fun time ! My surf through the internet resulted in some modest catches. They are quotes on various aspects of our life by some brainy people. Some of them are real funny. Some have hidden in them a little something not really that funny. But however one may like to view them, here they are:


1. On Marriage

  if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher. (Socrates)

2. Direction

You got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there. (Yogi Berra)

3. Understanding

I know you think you understood what I said, but what you heard was not what I meant. (Robert McCloskey)

4. Ugly Women

Last week I stated that this woman was the ugliest woman I had ever seen. I have since been visited by her sister and now wish to withdraw that statement. (Mark Twain )

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception. (Groucho Marx )

5. Death

It's not that I'm afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens. (Woody Allen)

6. Finite Space

Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought - particularly for people who cannot remember where they left things. (Woody Allen)

7. Fun

Most of the time I don't have much fun. The rest of the time I don't have any fun at all. (Woody Allen)

8. Choices

More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly. (Woody Allen)

9. Lawyers, Judges and Politicians

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post "Thou shalt not steal", Thou shalt not commit adultery" and "Thou shalt not lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment. (George Carlin)

10. Shortest and Longest Sentence

"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence? (George Carlin)

11. Wrong House

Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house. (George Burn)

12. Truths

I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender. (Rodney Dangerfield)

13. Being Old

I will never be an old man. To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am. (Francis Bacon)

14. Economics

The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road. (James Thurber)

15. More Economics

The gap in our economy is between what we have and what we think we ought to have - and that is a moral problem, not an economic one. (Paul Heyne)

Have a nice weekend or what's left of it!
