Philosophically Speaking . . .

  • Today I was in a shoe store that sells only shoes, nothing else. A young girl with a tattoo and green hair walked over to me and asked, “What brings you in today?” I looked at her and said, “I'm interested in buying a refrigerator.” She didn’t quite know how to respond; had that deer in the headlights look.

  • I was thinking about old age and decided that old age is when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it.

  • When people see a cat’s litter box they always say, “Oh, have you got a cat” I just say, “No, it’s for company!”

  • Employment application blanks always ask who is to be called in case of an emergency. I think you should write, “An ambulance.”

  • The older you get the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat have gotten to be really good friends.

  • The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

  • Have you ever noticed: The Roman Numerals for forty (40) are XL.

  • The sole purpose of a child’s middle name is so he knows when he’s really in trouble.

  • Did you ever notice that ,when you put the 2 words “The” and “IRS” together, it spells “Theirs”?

  • Aging: Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

  • Some people try to turn back their “odometers.” Not me. I want people to know why I look this way.

  • I’ve traveled a long way, and a lot of the roads were not paved.

  • Ah! Being young is beautiful but being old is comfortable.
