Aphorisms

I read that 4,153,237 people got married last year. Not to cause any trouble, but shouldn't that be an even number?

You know that tingly little feeling you get when you love someone? That's your common sense leaving your body.

Relationships are a lot like algebra. Have you ever looked at your X and wondered Y?

America is a country which produces citizens who will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won't cross

the street to vote.

I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue stand for freedom until they are flashing behind you.

My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We'll see about that.

If you think nobody cares whether you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

Money talks. but all mine ever says is good-bye.

You're not fat, you're just easier to see.

When wearing a bikini, women reveal 90% of their body. Men are so polite they only look at the covered parts.

I always wondered what the job application is like at Hooters. Do they just give you a bra and say, "Here, fill this out?

I can't understand why women are OK that JC Penney has an older women's clothing line named, "Sag Harbor."

Denny's has a slogan, "If it's your birthday, the meal is on us." If you're in Denny's and it's your birthday, your life sucks!

The location of your mailbox shows you how far away from your house you can go in a robe before you start looking

like a mental patient

I think it's pretty cool how Chinese people made a language entirely out of tattoos.

Money can't buy happiness, but it keeps the kids in touch!

The reason Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet was because nobody was married. Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Ernest T . Bass, Helen, Thelma Lou, Clara and, of course, Opie were all single.

The only married person was Otis, and he stayed drunk. Think on that one for a minute!

I like those, sodpoodle. Thanks for the chuckles.

Any pro-family aphorisms?

I loved Ambrose Bierce's definition of 'aphorism' from The Devil's Dicitonary:

APHORISM

-n.

Predigested wisdom.

The flabby wine-skin of his brain
Yields to some pathologic strain,
And voids from its unstored abysm
The driblet of an aphorism.

- "The Mad Philosopher," 1697

If that’s from 1987 it’s my fault. I married a Canadienne.

Not exactly an aphorism but...

Hat tip to Hairy the Dog.

The author is obviously politically incorrect and guilty of old think. Certainly if a feminist gaia lover married a tree, there would be only one person in the marriage. And what about the traditional Mormons or Islamic "refugees" with more than one spouse. That would throw the numbers off as well.

The odd number represents that woman who married the “pirate ghost”.

Why do they call it the Department of the Interior when they are in charge of everything outdoors?

I learned something from my wife.

I lived alone for twenty years before I met her and found out
that I had been loading the dishwasher wrong all that time.

If someone got married twice in one year that would result in an odd number of people getting married in a single year.

Point taken regarding the uneven number but the correct grammar would be 4,153,237 people got married last year.

Shouldn’t that have been an even number of people? Or did someone marry himself?
