Will Rogers A Great Man. . With an unusually wise sense of
humor. I've always enjoyed reading his stuff... ... .....
Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash
with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably the greatest political sage this
country has ever known. Enjoy the following.
1. Never slap a man who's chewing
tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a
woman... neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop
digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money
is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men: The ones
that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them
have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
9. Good judgment comes from experience,
and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd,
take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.
11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a
whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.
12. After eating an entire bull, a
mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a
hunter came along and shot him. The moral:
When you're full of bull, keep your mouth
shut.
ABOUT GROWING OLDER...
First ~ Eventually you will reach a point
when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer
things seem worth waiting in line for.
Third ~ Some people try to turn back their
odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've
traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and
would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when
everything either dries up or leaks.
Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the
hill without getting to the top.
Seventh ~ One of the many things no one
tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.
Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to
see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but
being old is comfortable.
Tenth ~ Long ago when men cursed and beat
the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf
And finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh
at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
