SUNDAY WISDOM
It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one’s life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than ‘try to be a little kinder.’
–Aldous Huxley

What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
And I’ll try not to sing out of key
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm going to try with a little help from my friends
Sung best by Joe Crocker……….love ya Dougie..Old Beatle tune

Words written by a friend:
Truths for when you have nothing better to do:
1. I wish Google Maps had an “Avoid Ghetto” routing option.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.
4. The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase “Regards” again…. See More
5. There is a great need for sarcasm font.
6. Sometimes, I’ll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what was going on when I first saw it.
7. How are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
8. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
9. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
10. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.
11. Was learning cursive really necessary?
12. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
13. How many times is it appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still didn’t hear what they said?
14. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
15. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
16. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
17. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
18. I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.
19. Bad decisions and bad experiences make good stories
20. Is it just me or do high school girls look sluttier & sluttier every year?
21. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you’ve made up your mind that you just aren’t doing anything productive for the rest of the day.
22. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning that your chair is back a little too far.
23. I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to.
24. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
25. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
26. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
27. It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
28. I keep some people’s phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.

I just came in for lunch and my ears were burning so I tapped on to the site. Forgive me for this one but my frienduzi needs a good laugh, so here goes, this one is for Douguzi.
A man walks into a restaurant with a
full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress
asks them for their orders. The man says, ‘A hamburger, fries and a
coke,’ and turns to the ostrich, ‘What’s yours?’ ’I'll have the same,’ says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with
the order ‘That will be $9.40 please,’ and the
man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the
exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come
again and the man says, ‘A hamburger, fries
and a coke.’ The ostrich says, ‘I’ll have the same.’ Again the man reaches into his pocket and
pays with exact change.. This becomes routine until the two enter again.
’The usual?’ asks the waitress. ’No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak,
baked potato and a salad,’ says the man. ’Same,’ says the ostrich. Shortly the waitress brings the order and says,
‘That will be $32.62.’ Once again the man pulls the exact change
out of his pocket and places it on the table. The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity
any longer. ‘Excuse me, sir. How do you manage
to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?’ ’Well,’ says the man, ‘several years ago I was
cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When
I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me
two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had
to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in
my pocket and the right amount of money would
always be there.’ ’That’s brilliant!’ says the waitress. ‘Most people
would ask for a million dollars or something, but
you’ll always be as rich as you want for as long
as you live!’ ’That’s right. Whether it’s a gallon of milk or a
Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,’
says the man.. The waitress asks, ‘What’s with the ostrich?’ The man sighs, pauses and answers, ‘My second
wish was for a tall chick with a big ass and long
legs who agrees with everything I say.’
