sex.
Never bet on the nag that runs under the name "Glue Factory Reject."

Twenty million women arose when it was said "Well will no longer be dictated
to," and became stenographers.
Deep down, most everyone is fairly superficial.

When I am gone, you will be sorry you never heard me say what I don't usually.
But if you had, it would have been memorable, which now it isn't because you
didn't. I have enjoyed these occasional flashes of silence so much, since they
enhance my conversation so delightfully. It is a pleasure for those who do not
listen, so they don't have to hear what I do not say, which is one of the major
reasons why I don't say what I do not do. I hope this clears up all the
confusion.

their toes.

six weeks - and today - this is an artistic achievement!

Dear Friends:
I guess it was supposed to be some sort of honor to put me on the National
Committee to raise funds for the Dan Quayle War Memorial Garden to be located
here in Washington someplace. The honor is dubious, at least to me.
We can not put this memorial garden near any memorial to George Washington,
since as many of you know, he is often credited with having told the truth.
It is said that he never told a lie.
We can not put this memorial garden near any memorial to Franklin D. Roosevelt,
since it is said he never quite got around to telling the truth.
Our memorial garden to Dan Quayle ought to be somewhere in between one of these
other monuments or memorials, since Dan has shown that he would not know the
difference regarding what the others were famous for. This memorial garden
should be located on a plot formerly occupied by livestock, since Dan is also
known for spreading a lot of the same stuff that livestock ordinarily spread.
It would be most fitting if we could find a plot near a memorial or statue of
Christopher Columbus, since he did not know where he was going or how he would
get there, or what he would do when he got there, or how he would get home in
the event he wanted to go home, and when he did get home, he did not know where
he had been, and since he did all of this in a condition of serious debt to the
government, it just seems fitting.

Possibly the greatest threat to those who want to believe that everything in
the Bible is true was advanced by an individual standing in wading boots in
cool water up to his hind end, in fact, who revealed that most of the early
witnesses to all that Jesus said and did were fishermen!
I've learned from watching ads on television that if you are an insecure cretin
who has smelly parts that leak offensive fluids or secret things that are just
short of obscene, being idle, unwanted and underprivileged, driven by a craze
for sex and seeking status in some neurotic manner more befitting a sub-normal
moron, with piles and lose dentures, lacking money, brains, muscles, figure
and self-confidence (not necessarily in that order), advertizers are after you.
They want your money.
The real trouble with telling a fairly decent story which will make people
laugh is that someone in the group of listeners will be reminded of another

Fatherhood is natures way of providing every teenager with a banker.

it was attended by Vice President Dan Quayle. Got three eggs!

issue Quayle bonds - no interest, no maturity.
How is Dan Quayle like Millard Fillmore? They are both Vice Presidents who
didn't live in this century.

a bow knot in the center. Reenters bar, sits down and orders a martini. Again,
Bartender says, "hey, ain't you the string I just threw outta here?" "No," says
the string, "I'm a frayed knot." (Sorry, apologies all around on this!)
Actor Gary Busey, seriously injured in a motorcycle accident, was not wearing a
helmet at the time. He says he does not believe that people need to wear such
items, since he survived and he thus opposes laws requiring riders to wear any
helmet. Says also he plans to go fishing for skyhooks in Laos when Europe is
open after the war and that gas prices will reflect the loss of carrots. He
fully expects the return of Nordac to Lauter and will not drink water during
this time. Claims full recovery from accident, which he does not clearly seem
to remember.
The three men who attempted to board an international flight from St. Louis to

You get a Vice President people will pay attention to!
People would do nothing if they waited until they could do it so well that no
one could find fault with what they have done.
There is but one inerrant inevitable formula for success on a computer. This
involves the combination of a computer with a human being, and it is bound to
be even more effective if that human being is self-conceived as a computer
programmer. By a combination of these two elements in any manner possible,
complete disaster is proximate and immanent and will happen at the most
inopportune time in the most disastrous manner, most often to the hard disk
which is filled to near capacity and which has not had a back-up made in
several months.
One of the considerations in the formula for any pizza is that it be made so
that the sticky side, when it slips out of your hand, will be the side that
hits the expensive carpet first.

I figure that the best way to figure what the IRS will figure is to get them to
figure what you are figuring that they will figure that you are not really
figuring what you want them to figure that you figure. If you figure all of
this out sufficiently, you have got to figure that they can't figure you out in
the first place.
There is a proportion between the joy of accomplishment and the suspense of the

I Think I May Have Eaten There Myself Department: A man left a restaurant with
a sandwich for which he had not paid, at high noon. He was quickly apprehended
by the police and had the evidence in hand at the time. Taken before the local
magistrate, the man admitted his guilt. The magistrate, reflecting on the fact
that on one occasion he himself had eaten there at the same restaurant from
which the sandwich was stolen, ordered the man to undergo a thorough
psychiatric examination and waived all criminal charges. Some sandwich!
If you are average, you are the worst of the best and the best of the worst.

SPORTING REMARKS: Comments on the Game, During the Game, On Radio and TV!
Norvil Faubaus: He is one of the greater unknown champions of this sport,
simply because so little is known about him. He was last year's man of the
moment, treading where no one fears to go, doing those things already done by
practically everyone else.
When Norvil gets out there on the playing field, if you watch him carefully,
you get a fairly good idea of what he is doing and how the game is going, and
of course, if you don't, then you certainly won't.
As the crowd stands in their seats, Norvil is ahead at the moment, since he
seems to be out front of the others in the game, which is why he is where he
is, and it was the same last year. This is going so well it could be a repeat
of next year.
There are no opportune times for a penalty and this certainly is not one of
those times, even if you consider that some other time is perhaps less
opportune, you still don't know. Nevertheless, Norvil's strength is precisely
in this, his strength. He often hands out far more than he gives in one of
these events.
In the sense that his team lost, you could say that Norvil's team was beaten,
but they held right on to the lead up until the very moment they lost it.
They just couldn't do too much, and then when they did, it was too much, which
is why the thing finally did what it did and the team lost.
Norvil's team was never really too far out front, but then it was not really
all that far behind, either, come to think of it, while we watched it.
If history is going to repeat itself, it is likely that we are going to see
this very same thing again.
Victory was there for the asking, and neither Norvil nor his team could give
the proper answer.
It appears that our action replay displayed the play worse than it was the
first time around, and it appears that it was probably worse than that, but
not bad for the team overall, when you think of what they could do.
Let's make a hard but honest prediction; it could go either way here.
It is just like motor racing, that ever present danger is always there, and
when it should go away, of course we all know, it doesn't. This often causes
the driver to shed buckets of adrenalin. it is well to recall that when half
the race is gone, there is still have the race to go through, and that is why
it isn't over till it is. The referee must now put his foot down with a very
firm hand, if he is to stop this. You know I am sure that Norvil's brother
failed. Let's see Norvil do it and maintain the family tradition in spite of
what his brother did.
Yes, it's been a wet month just about everywhere, but surprisingly, not
everywhere in general, just most of it. This current age is the one in which
we are living, and the reason these things happen the way they do most of the
time, but not always.
For many of the fans, homelessness probably comes down to meaning that these
folks simply do not have homes to which they can go when they are not someplace
else.
I would think that now that Norvil is the champion after his eight undefeated
victories it is possible that he could retire undefeated. Of course, this
could be the goose that killed the golden egg. If Norvil were to die earlier
than he does, it is possible that he could become a legend in his own lifetime
earlier than he will the way things look now from this vantage point.
Since Norvil has come out bristling on all cylinders, there is no way he can't
not go into the final session behind the person who is in front of him unless
he skips, which Norvil has been known to do, in which case it would be
different than it now appears. It is times like these that Norvil shows his
ability to keep his head on his chin, which is probably why he is what he is,
where he is, as he is at this moment, presently.
You've got to hand it to Norvil. Once, when he saw it was possible, he grasped
his chance and made it a distinct possibility and then he realized it. Once
having done that, of course, the problems started, since he didn't quite
understand the nature of this particular possibility, and this is probably why
he did not fulfill our expectations and use it properly.

A recent graduate of the seminary was called to a local church to give a
sermon, sort of a sample of what he might do, if the church invited him to
become their pastor. He went out to the church, a small church with a very
modest congregation, in the middle of practically nowhere. Sure enough, comes
time for him to give his sermon and he starts out giving it, when a man comes
in late, coughs loudly, and accompanied by his dog, comes to the front pew.
This commotion upsets the new minister greatly and he loses his line of
thought, but gets back on it and starts out again. The dog makes some noises,
upsets the minster, who loses his line of thought. This goes on several times,
and each time, the dog makes more noise. Finally, since no one else will do
it, the minister simply comes down, picks up the dog, takes it to the back of
the church, throws it out and closes the door. At the end of church, one of
the deacons advises the new minster that he has jsut thrown out a dog belonging
to the wealthiest contributor to the church, and that he, the minister, had
beeter go out immediately and apologize. The minister goes out in front of
church, finds the man who owns the dog and makes a very long detailed apology
to the man. The man smiles. "I'm glad you put him out of the church, young
man," smiles the dog's owner," They's some of what you said I would't want even
my dog to hear."

A Presbyterian and Methodist Preacher got into a hot discussion about the
Presbyterian teaching on what is called predestination. Like all such
discussions, there was far more heat shead in the course of the discussion than
there was light. The Methodist finally agreed that there just might be
something to the teaching of the Presbyterians on predestination, and also he
allowed that most Presbyterians were likely going to hell anyway. The
Presbyterian was rather out of patience with all of this and admitted that he
would much rather be a Presbyertian and know he was going to hell than a
Methodist and know know where the hell he was going.

money for a good cause.
Nine professional gamblers can not feed a single canary.
Money is what you could so easily do without if others weren't so crazy to get
it.
