Me: "Hell, I wake up suspicious."

For my real-life job, I make jewelry. Including the owner, there are seven people working there, all female except for myself and a 17 year-old part-timer.
Sometimes, the discussions lead to some interesting comments - some are even funny. One that I made a few weeks ago came from a discussion about weddings, and apparently everyone thought it was funnier than I did when I said it: When men get married, they lose about 20 IQ points - I'm down about 60. Yes, I've been married three times =================

Fear, greed and envy - the things that motivate about ninety percent of human behavior.

Good point.
Happiness with wealth is relative. A millionaire is unhappy if his neighbour is a billionaire. A Toyota driver envies an Audi driver, who envies a Mercedes driver, who envies a Rolls Royce chauffeured person. Yet the Toyota driver probably has less debt and works less hours, spending more time with his family.

Yet the Toyota driver probably has less debt and works less hours, spending more time with his family. Debt up to his ears but at an absolute lower amount. Lower wages, less economic security. One paycheck from bankrupcy, and paying twice the interest rate on his loans. The excruciatingly high cost of poverty. But he has his family and his health, and happiness. God bless Tiny Tim.

... But stupid lasts a lifetime. (NOT a shot at anyone) And, unfortunately, stupid and wrong ideas seem to be eternal. Helas,chou, Je m'en fache.

Ignorance can be cured, stupid is forever.
That's an oldie but goodie. Or, to paraphrase Harlan Ellison:

Out of the mouth of a blonde friend of mine who was at the same Super Bowl party, regarding President Trump. She said it so matter-of-factly and it had us all ROTFL.
Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |
