Food for Thought

  1. I'm responsible for what I say, not for what you understand. 

  2. Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it the most never use it.

  3. My tolerance for idiots is extremely low these days. I used to have some immunity built up, but obviously, there's a new strain out there. 

  4. It's not my age that bothers me. It's the side effects. 

  5. I'm not saying I'm old and worn out, but I make sure I'm nowhere near the curb on trash day. 

  6. As I watch this generation try and rewrite our history, I'm sure of one thing: it will be misspelled and have no punctuation. 

  7. As I've gotten older, people think I've become lazy. The truth is I'm just being more energy-efficient. 

  8. I haven't gotten anything done today. I've been in the Produce Department trying to open a stupid plastic bag. 

  9. If you find yourself feeling useless, remember: it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, thousands of lives and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
