“Life is short, live it.
Love is rare, grab it.
Anger is bad, dump it.
Fear is awful, face it.
Memories are sweet, cherish them.”

I think that forever I have loved eating fish, especially when I caught them.
But I can’t even imagine putting them in a sandwich. Fish don’t belong lining two slips of bread or in a bun.
Let me catch ‘em, scale them, cook them in a greased frying pan, turn ‘em over when they are cooked, debone ‘em and… look out tummy, here they come.

I told my youngest daughter I’d like to have YouTube. Susan told me, “Dad, you’re too old to understand how to use it!”
Considering how many times I ask where my clicker is, guess she’s right.
I asked her to get me a DVD player. Out came the same answer, “Dad, you’ll never learn how to use it.”
Susan said the same thing when I asked her a few weeks ago where she stored my toilet paper.

Lawyers must have the best payment plan ever. No one, quits; their family plans seem like a lifetime of prosperity and they apparently have the right to call their agency “Number One” in any category.

I asked a lawyer one day; “If you’re so darn smart, why ain’t you rich?
She said, “If I can’t convince ‘em I confuse ‘em.”

I’m a bit of a bull thrower myself; but go on with your story . . . Recently, I asked one of my doctor’s friendly nurses what her name was. She wrote it out. “Pain in the Ass Ann.”
Actually, the pains she gave me were quite a way from my backside.
