We're having a crisis at work this week -- & one of the programmers posted the
following file.
It made me giggle quite a bit & thought y'all might enjoy it, too.
1. Indecision is the Key to
Flexibility.
2. There is absolutely no
substitute for a genuine
lack of preparation.
3. Happiness is merely the
remission of pain.
4. Nostalgia isn't what it used
to be.
5. The facts, although
interesting, are irrelevant.
6. The careful application of
terror is also a form of
communication.
7. Someone who thinks logically
is a nice contrast to the
real world.
8. Things are more like they
are today then they have
ever been before.
9. Anything worth fighting for
is worth fighting dirty for.
10. Everything should be made as
simple as possible but no
simpler.
11. Friends may come and go, but
enemies accumulate.
12. I have seen the truth and it
makes no sense.
13. Suicide is the most sincere
form of self-criticism.
14. If you think that there is
good in everybody, you
haven't met everybody.
15. All things being equal, fat
people use more soap.
16. If you can smile when things
go wrong, you have someone
in mind to blame.
17. One-seventh of your life is
spent on Monday.
18. By the time you can make
ends meet, they move the
ends.
19. Not one shred of evidence
supports the notion that
life is serious.
20. There is always one more
imbecile than you counted
on.
21. Never wrestle with a pig.
You both get dirty and the
pig likes it.
