Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. [But at least it doesn't lead to the dark side!]
Drink 'till she's cute, but stop before the wedding. [Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder?]
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. [As long as they don't wear capes]
Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. [SQUEAK!]
I'm not cheap, but I am on special this week. [Cheeping is for the birds]
I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met. [But did she win the lottery?]
I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol. [Not me; I tend to drive slow]
I love defenseless animals, especially in a good gravy. [What's for dinner?]
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? [Cause she wouldn't be popular without them?]
If you ain't makin' waves, you ain't kickin' hard enough!

Mental backup in progress - Do Not Disturb!
Mind Like A Steel Trap - Rusty And Illegal In 37 States.
Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of.
Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have.
Televangelists: The Pro Wrestlers of religion.
The only substitute for good manners is fast reflexes.
When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
Give a man a free hand and he'll run it all over you.
If I worked as much as others, I would do as little as they.

24 hours in a day ... 24 beers in a case ...coincidence? ["Beer bad" - Xander Harris, while working as a bartender.]
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. [Error... Error... Error...]
Many people quit looking for work when they find a job. [Then they look for vacation from it?]
Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire. [They want to take a nap?]
When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded. [Out of my mind. Be back in 5 minutes.]
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some don't have film. [But let's see what develops.]
Boycott shampoo! Demand the REAL poo! [To hair is human.]
If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn? [It stays blue; those things are plastic, anyway.]
Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk? [That sounds like a Major Problem.]
What happens if you get scared half to death twice? [Depends how much time between the two!]

Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery. [Hare today, gone tomorrow?]
I poured Spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone. [Well doggone!]
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out. [Brain brain what is brain?]
I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder. [Oh put a muffler on it!]
Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark. [Where's that flashlight?]
How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink? [Use a decoder ring?]
Laughing stock: cattle with a sense of humor. [Where's the beef?]
Why do psychics have to ask you for your name? [And why don't they win the lottery?]
Wear short sleeves! Support your right to bare arms! [Only when they're in season]

Back in the 1970s we didn't have the space shuttle to get all excited about.
We had to settle for men walking on the crummy moon.
*****
In my day, we didn't have hand-held calculators.
We had to do addition on our fingers. To subtract, we had to have some fingers amputated.
*****
In my day, we didn't have water. We had to smash together our own hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Kids today think the world revolves around them.
In my day, the sun revolved around the world, and the world was perched on the back of a giant tortoise.

In my day, we didn't have virtual computer reality.
If a one-eyed, razorback barbarian warrior was chasing you with an ax, you just had to hope you could outrun him.
