Sure Murphy has his law, but he has no corner on the basic rules of life. Life, like a good joke, deserves a little laughter. Perhaps you'll find a smile lurking behind one of these great truisms of life.....

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fanbelt and a leaky tire... It's always darkest before dawn. But if you're going to steal your neighbors newspaper, it's the best time to do it... Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted... No one is listening until you make a mistake... Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else. Never test the depth of the water with both feet... It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others... It is far more impressive when others disover your fine qualities without your help! If you think no one cares if you're alive, then try missing a couple of RV payments... Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes... If at first you don't succeed, don't go skydiving... Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day and drink beer... If you lend someone $20 and never see tham again, then the $20 was probably worth it... Don't squat with your spurs on... If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything... Some days you are the bug. Some days you are the windshield... Good judgement comes from bad experiences, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement... The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket... A closed mouth gathers no foot... Duct tape is like the force...It has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together... Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it... Never miss a good chance to shut up! And finally... We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse... Sign up for our Email Newsletter
