Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Rita Rudner's Facts About Men
1. If you’re dating a man who you think might be “Mr. Right,” if he a) got older, b) got a new job, or c) visited a psychiatrist, you are in for a nasty surprise. The cocoon-to-butterfly theory only works on cocoons and butterflies.
2. No man is charming all of the time. Even Cary Grant is on record saying he wished he could be Cary Grant.
3. When four or more men get together, they talk about sports.
4. When four or more women get together, they talk about men.
5. Not one man in a beer commercial has a beer belly.
6. Men are less sentimental than women. No man has ever seen the movie “The Way We Were” twice, voluntarily.
7. Most women are introspective: “Am I in love? Am I emotionally and creatively fulfilled?” Most men are outrospective: “Did my team win? How’s my car?”
8. If a man says, “I’ll call you,” and he doesn’t, he didn’t forget …he didn’t lose your number…he didn’t die. He just didn’t want to call you.
9. Men hate to lose. I once beat my husband at tennis. I asked him, “Are we going to have sex again?” He said, “Yes, but not with each other.”
10. Men who can eat anything they want and not gain weight should do it out of sight of women.
11. Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem. “Get out” and “I never want to see you again” might sound like a challenge. If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest saying, “I love you…I want to marry you…I want to have your children.” Sometimes they leave skid marks.
12. Men accept compliments much better than women do. Example: “Mitch, you look great.” Mitch: “Thanks.” On the other side: “Ruth, you look great.” Ruth: “I do? Must be the lighting.”
13. Men who listen to classical music tend not to spit.
14. Only men who have worn a ski suit understand how complicated it is for a woman to go to the bathroom when she’s wearing a jumpsuit.
15. Men don’t feel the urge to get married as quickly as women do because their clothes all button and zip in the front. Women’s dresses usually button and zip in the back. We need men sexually and emotionally, but we also need men to help us get dressed.
16. Men are self-confident because they grow up identifying with superheroes. Women have bad self-images because they grow up identifying with Barbie.
17. When a woman tries on clothing from her closet that feels tight, she will assume she has gained weight. When a man tries something from his closet that feels tight, he will assume the clothing has shrunk.
18. Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. With male menopause, you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.
19. Men forget everything; women remember everything.
20. That’s why men need instant replays in sports. They’ve already forgotten what happened.

Bill Maher's Closing Bit The Other Night To President Bush:
This job can’t be fun for you any more. There’s no more money to spend–you
used up all of that. You can’t start another war because you used up the
army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush
family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard’s
bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one’s speaking to you. Mission
accomplished.

Now it’s time to do what you’ve always done best: lose interest and walk
away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and the
baseball team. It’s time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How
about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you’re saying: there’s so many
other things that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don’t.
I know, I know. There’s a lot left to do. There’s a war with Venezuela.
Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the
church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.

But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like
Billy Joel drives. You’ve performed so poorly I’m surprised that you
haven’t given yourself a medal. You’re a catastrophe that walks like a man.
Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire
city to rising water and snakes.

On your watch, we’ve lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four
airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of New
Orleans. Maybe you’re just not lucky. I’m not saying you don’t love this
country. I’m just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the
other side.

So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: ‘Take a hint.’

Jerry Seinfeld
With any kind of physical test, I don’t know what it is, I always seem to get competitive. Remember when you were in school and they’d do those hearing tests? And you’d really be listening hard, you know?
I wanted to do unbelievable on the hearing test. I wanted them to come over to me after and go, “We think you may have something close to super-hearing. What you heard was a cotton ball touching a piece of felt. We’re sending the results to Washington, we’d like you to meet the President.”

The proof that we don’t understand death is we give dead people a pillow. I mean if you can’t stretch out and get some solid rest at that point, I don’t think there are any bedding accessories that can make the difference. But the suit and the pillow really shows how we have no idea what to get these people ready for.
I mean, what situation are you going into with a suit and a pillow? There’s no business nap meetings.

Somebody just gave me a shower radio. Thanks a lot. Do you really want music in the shower?
I guess there’s no better place to dance than a slick surface next to a glass door!

It’s tough to do a good deed. Let’s look at your professional good-deed doers, your Lone Rangers, your Supermen, your Batmen, your Spiderman. They’re all wearing disguises, masks over their faces, secret identities. They don’t want people to know who they are. Too much aggravation.
“Superman, yeah thanks for saving my life, but did you have to come through my wall? I’m renting here. They’ve got a security deposit. Now what am I supposed to do?”

I’m on the plane, we left late, and the pilot says, “We’re going to be making up some time in the air.”
I thought, “Isn’t that interesting. They just make up time.” That’s why you have to reset your watch when you land. Of course, when they say they’re making up time, obviously they’re increasing the speed of the aircraft.
Now my question is, if you can go faster, why don’t you just go as fast as you can all the time? “Come on, they’re no cops up here! Nail it! Give it some gas! We’re flying!”

The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. You ever fly standby? It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, “Bye.”

Frankly, I don’t believe people think of their office as a workplace anyway. I think they think of it as a stationery store with Danish. You want to get your pastry, your envelopes, your supplies, your toilet paper, six cups of coffee, and you go home.

Then there’s the psychiatrist. Why is it that with the psychiatrist every hour is only fifty minutes? What do they do with the ten minutes that they have left?
Do they just sit there going, “Boy that guy was crazy. I couldn’t believe the things he was saying. What a nut. Who’s coming in next? Oh no, another head case.”

Talk-show hosts never seem to have any idea how much time is left in the show, you know? They’re always looking off camera, “Do we have time?” “Are we out of time?” “How are we doing on time?”
You never see the cops on NYPD Blue go, “Should I strangle this guy or are we gonna take a break here? Can you stay for another beating? I’ll tell you what, I’ll bop him in the head, we’ll do a commercial, we’ll come back, I’ll drive in the car real fast. Stay with us.”

The main difference between the man’s wallet and the woman’s wallet is the photo section. Women carry with them a photograph of every person they’ve ever met every day in their whole life since the beginning of time. And every picture’s out of date. “Here’s my cousin, 3 years old, she’s in the Marines now. This is my dog; he died during the Carter administration.”
They get stopped by a cop, no license and registration. “Here’s my fifty-six people who know me.”
Cop goes, “Alright ma’am, just wanted to make sure you had some friends. Move it along…. Routine pal check.”

I will never understand why they cook on TV. I can’t smell it. Can’t eat it. Can’t taste it. The end of the show they hold it up to the camera: “Well, here it is. You can’t have any. Thanks for watching. Goodbye.”

Sunday’s paper is the worst. Weekend. You want to relax. “Oh, by the way, here’s a thousand pages of information you had no idea about.” How can they tell you everything they know about every single day of the week and then have this much left over on Sunday when nothing’s going on?

Sometimes you go to a nice restaurant, they put the check in the little book. What is this, the story of the bill? Once upon a time somebody ordered a salad. There’s a little gold tassel hanging down. Am I graduating from the restaurant? Should I put this on the rearview mirror of my Camaro?

One thing I love about living in New York is it’s every different type of person piled one on top of the other. I am for open immigration, but that sign we have in the front of the Statue of Liberty, “Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.”
Can’t we just say, “Hey, the door’s open. We’ll take whoever you got.”
Why not just say, “Give us the unhappy, the sad, the slow, the ugly, the people that can’t drive, people that have trouble merging, if they can’t stay in their lane, if they don’t signal, they can’t parallel park, if they’re sneezing, if they’re stuffed up, if they have bad penmanship, if they don’t return calls, if they have dandruff, food between their teeth, if they have bad credit, if they have no credit, missed a spot shaving…”
In other words, any dysfunctional, defective slob that you can somehow cattle prod onto a wagon, send them over. We want them.

Any day that you had gym was a weird school day. It started off kind of normal. You had English, Geometry, Social Studies, and then suddenly you’re in Lord of the Flies for forty minutes.
You’re hanging from a rope, you have hardly any clothes on. Teachers are yelling at you, “Where’s your jockstrap?” Kids are throwing dodge balls at you, snapping towels – you’re trying to survive.
And then it’s History, Science, Language. There’s something off in the whole flow of that day.

My parents took me to Amish country, which to a kid, to see a bunch of people that have no cars, no TV, no phone you go, So what? Neither do I.
Who wants to see a whole community that’s been grounded? That’s the way they should punish the kids after they’ve seen Amish country. “All right son, get up to your room. That’s it, I’ve had it, you are Amish, young man. For the rest of this weekend. Did you hear me? Amish! And don’t come down till you’ve made some noodles and raised a barn.”

The Swiss have an interesting army. Five hundred years without a war. Pretty impressive. Also pretty lucky for them. Ever see that little Swiss Army knife they have to fight with? Not much of a weapon there. Corkscrews. Bottle openers. “Come on, buddy, let’s go. You get past me, the guy in back of me, he’s got a spoon. Back off. I’ve got the toe clippers right here.”

Have you ever noticed that the waiter who takes your order is not the one who brings your food anymore? What is THAT about? And which waiter are you tipping, anyway? I think next time I go to a restaurant I’ll just say, “Oh, sorry, I only eat the food. The guy who pays the bill will be along shortly.”

Would somebody please explain to me those signs that say, “No animals allowed except for Seeing Eye Dogs?” Who is that sign for? Is it for the dog, or the blind person?

Why do people give each other flowers? To celebrate various important occasions, they’re killing living creatures? Why restrict it to plants? “Sweetheart, let’s make up. Have this deceased squirrel.”

Can’t we just get rid of wine lists? Do we really have to be reminded every time we go out to a nice restaurant that we have no idea what we are doing? Why don’t they just give us a trigonometry quiz with the menu?

If airline seat cushions are such great flotation devices, why don’t you ever see anyone take one to the beach?

Why is it illegal to park in a handicapped parking space but okay to go the bathroom in a handicapped stall?

How come you have to pay someone to rotate your tires? Isn’t that the basic idea behind the wheel? Don’t they rotate on their own?

All the king’s HORSES and all the king’s men? Are you kidding me? No wonder they couldn’t put Humpty together again. Just what did those idiots expect the horses to do, anyway?

Did you ever notice, when you are sitting at a red light, that when the person in front of you pulls up a couple of inches, you are compelled to move up too? Do we really think we are making progress toward our destination? “Whew, I thought we would be late, but now that I am nine inches closer, I can stop for coffee and a danish!”

Isn’t it weird that we drink milk, stuff designed to nourish baby cows? How did THAT happen? Did some cattleman once say, “Oh, man, I can’t wait till them calves are done so I can get ME a hit of that stuff.”

George Carlin: (I Am A BAD American)
I Am Your Worst Nightmare. I am a BAD American.

I believe if she has her lips on your willie, it is sex, and it is sex for both of you. This even applies when you are President of the United States.

I’ve never owned a slave, or was a slave, I didn’t wander forty years in the desert after getting chased out of Egypt, I haven’t burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you, so shut up already.

I think the cops have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you’re running from them. I also think they have the right to pull your ass over if you are breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.

I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don’t want you deciding who should be running the most powerful nation of the world for the next four years.

I think if you are in the passing lane, and not passing, your license should be revoked, and you should be forced to ride the bus until you promise to never delay the rest of us again.

I think beef jerky could quite possibly be the perfect food.
I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don’t pretend they are a political statement.
I think Dr. Seuss was a genius.
I’m neither angry nor disenfranchised, no matter how desperately the mainstream media would like the world to believe otherwise.

If that makes me a BAD American, then yes, I’m a BAD American.

Jokes From The Professionals

My HMO is terrible. They charged me for a self breast exam. It’s a flat fee.-Wendy Liebman

Chris Rock Quotes
You know ‘the stripper myth.’ The stripper myth is: ‘I’m stripping to pay my tuition.’ No you’re not! There’s no strippers in college! There’s no clear heels in biology! Shit, I didn’t know they had a college that only took one-dollar bills. If they’ve got so many strippers in college, how come I never got a smart lap dance? I never got a girl that sat on my lap and said ‘if I was you, I would diversify my portfolio. You know, ever since the end of the Cold War, I find NATO obsolete.’ I haven’t met her yet. If I do, she’s gonna get a big tip.

“There are only three things women need in life: food, water, and compliments.”

“Don’t argue! You cannot win, you cannot beat a woman in a argument. It’s impossble you will not win. Cause men, we are handicapped when it comes to arguing cause we have a need to make sense”

You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America’s Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn’t want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named ‘Bush’, ‘Dick’, and ‘Colon.’ Need I say more?

We got so much food in America we’re allergic to food. Allergic to food! Hungry people ain’t allergic to shit. You think anyone in Rwanda’s got a fucking lactose intolerance?!

Every man has to settle down eventually. You know why you gotta settle down eventually? Because you don’t want to be the old guy in the club. You know what I’m talking about. Every club you go into, there’s always some old guy. He ain’t really old, just a little too old to be in the club.

You know what they say, “There’s no reason to ever hit a woman.” Shit! There’s a reason to hit everybody. You just don’t do it. Shit, there’s a reason to kick an old man down a flight of stairs. You just don’t do it. Ain’t nobody above an ass-whooping.

A bunch of girls say, “You don’t need no man to help you raise no child” … shut the fuck up with the bullshit! Yeah, you could do it without a man, but that don’t mean it’s to be done! Shit, you can drive a car with your feet if you want to, that don’t make it a good fucking idea!

Men lie the most, women tell the biggest lies … a man lie is, “I was at Kevin’s house!” A woman lie is like, “It’s your baby!”

If you haven’t contemplated murder, you ain’t been in love. If you haven’t seriously thought about killing a motherfucker, you ain’t been in love. If you haven’t had a can of rat poison in your hand and looked at it for forty-five minutes straight, you ain’t been in love. If you haven’t bought a shovel and a bag and a rug to roll their ass up in, you ain’t been in love. If you haven’t practiced your alibi in front of the mirror, you ain’t been in love. And the only thing that’s stopped you from killing this motherfucker was a episode of CSI: “Oh man, they thorough. I better make up. They might catch my ass.”

Fellas, when you wake up in the morning, you should look yourself in the mirror and say, “Fuck you. Fuck your hopes, fuck your dreams, fuck your plans … fuck everything you thought this life was going to bring to you. Now let’s go out there and try to make this bitch happy.”

Women hate women. You get any two girlfriends in this room, been girlfriends for twenty five years, you put a man in between them … “fuck that bitch,” “fuck that bitch.” Guys are not like that. Guys actually think that there are other fish in the sea, and if a guy introduces his boy to his new girlfriend, and when they walk away, his boy goes, “Oh man, she’s nice, I gotta get me a girl like that.” If a woman introduces her new man to her girlfriend, and they walk away, her girlfriend goes, “I gotta get him, and I will slit that bitch’s throat to do it.” Every girl in here got a girlfriend they don’t trust around their man.

But here’s what they don’t tell you. You can never make a woman happy, it’s impossible. I’ve never met a happy woman in my life. They’re always complaining about something. You can fuck a woman with a diamond dick and make her come ten times, and she’ll still complain. “Why did you make me come so hard? This diamond dick is cloudy, why didn’t you go to Tiffany’s? You’re so fucking cheap.”

1212 Webster St.
San Francisco, Cal.

Dear Sir,

Your letter is an insoluble puzzle to me. The handwriting is good and exhibits considerable character, and there are even traces of intelligence in what you say, yet the letter and the accompanying advertisements profess to be the work of the same hand. The person who wrote the advertisements is without doubt the most ignorant person now alive on the planet; also without doubt he is an idiot, an idiot of the 33rd degree, and scion of an ancestral procession of idiots stretching back to the Missing Link. It puzzles me to make out how the same hand could have constructed your letter and your advertisements. Puzzles fret me, puzzles annoy me, puzzles exasperate me; and always, for a moment, they arouse in me an unkind state of mind toward the person who has puzzled me. A few moments from now my resentment will have faded and passed and I shall probably even be praying for you; but while there is yet time I hasten to wish that you may take a dose of your own poison by mistake, and enter swiftly into the damnation which you and all other patent medicine assassins have so remorselessly earned and do so richly deserve.

Adieu, adieu, adieu!

Twain wrote this letter to his family sometime after Olivia Langdon accepted his marriage proposal in 1869.

My dear Mother & Brother & Sisters & Nephew & Niece, & Margaret:

This is to inform you that on yesterday, the 4th of February, I was duly & solemnly & irrevocably engaged to be married to Miss Olivia L. Langdon, of Elmira, New York. Amen. She is the best girl in all the world, & the most sensible, & I am just as proud of her as I can be.

It may be a good while before we are married, for I am not rich enough to give her a comfortable home right away, & I don’t want anybody’s help. I can get an eighth of the Cleveland Herald for $25,000, & have it so arranged that I can pay for it as I earn the money with my unaided hands. I shall look around a little more, & if I can do no better elsewhere, I shall take it.

I am not worrying about whether you will love my future wife or not —if you know her twenty-four hours & then don’t love her, you will accomplish what nobody else has ever succeeded in doing since she was born. She just naturally drops into everybody’s affections that comes across her. My prophecy was correct. She said she never could or would love me — but she set herself the task of making a Christian of me. I said she would succeed, but that in the meantime she would unwittingly dig a matrimonial pit & end up tumbling into it — & lo! the prophecy is fulfilled. She was in New York a day or two ago, & George Wiley & his wife Clara know her now. Pump them, if you want to. You shall see her before very long.

Love to all. Affect’ly

Sam.

P.S. Shall be here a week.
