Books, books and more books

Filed under: General — justpete @ 12:08 pm

The dreaded book list has arrived for the school year, so if your in any of my classes, here’s the Amazon links to the cheapest options.  So, before I get too stressed out about those costs and so forth, here’s some quotes to lighten the mood:

  • Old basketball players never die. They just sit in front of you at the movies.
  • My parents put us to sleep by tossing us up in the air. Of course, you have to have low ceilings for this method to work.
  • Adults are obsolete children.
  • Ever notice that we trust banks with our money, but they don’t trust us with their pens?
  • Please don’t think of me as your boss. Think of me as your friend who is never wrong.
  • When cows laugh, does milk come out of their noses?
  • Don’t sweat the petty things and don’t pet the sweaty things.
  • Santa Claus comes to us under many names: Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas, MasterCard.
  • A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.
  • If you want to be sure you’ll always remember your wife’s birthday, just try forgetting it once.
  • It’s always darkest right before you stub your toe.
  • Death is God’s way of telling you not to be such a wise guy.
  • I’ve been on a diet for two weeks and all I’ve lost is two weeks.
  • Diplomacy is the art of saying “Nice doggie” until you can find a rock.
  • If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, a couple of times more. Then quit. There’s no sense making a fool of yourself.
  • Nothing seems to bring on an emergency as quickly as putting money aside in case of one.
  • The ESP Society will not be meeting this month due to unforeseen circumstances.
  • I think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.
  • I know that there are people in this world who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that!
  • No job is so simple that is can’t be done wrong.
  • Behind every successful man stands an absolutely astounded mother-in-law.
  • You know you’re getting older when in the morning you hear snap, crackle, pop, and it isn’t your breakfast cereal.
  • Whoever uses the term “dirt cheap” probably hasn’t bought any real estate lately.
  • A friend said, “I quit smoking cold turkey.” I said, “What do you smoke now? Ham?”
  • My wife thinks I’m too nosy. At least that’s what she scribbles in her diary.
