***THE OFFICIAL FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD***

Posted on 04/01/2016 6:12:43 AM PDT by Lucky9teen

In honor of the times we're living in...

**********

April 1. This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and sixty-four. ~Mark Twain

**********

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. ~Chinese proverb

**********

Men would not live long in society, were they not the mutual dupes of each other. ~François VI de la Rochefoucault (1613–1680)

**********

He who is born a fool is never cured. ~Proverb

**********

Let us be thankful for the fools.  But for them the rest of us could not succeed.  ~Mark Twain

**********

If every fool wore a crown, we should all be kings.  ~Welsh Proverb

**********

Here cometh April again, and as far as I can see the world hath more fools in it than ever. ~Charles Lamb

**********

Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee,
And I'll forgive Thy great big one on me.
~Robert Frost, "Cluster of Faith," 1962

**********

I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it. ~Jack Handey

**********

We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance. ~Japanese Proverb

**********

You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.  ~Abraham Lincoln

**********

Even the gods love jokes.  ~Plato

**********

The trouble with practical jokes is that very often they get elected.  ~Will Rogers

**********

A man always blames the woman who fools him. In the same way he blames the door he walks into in the dark.  ~Henry Louis Mencken

**********

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.  ~Douglas Adams

**********

It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor.  ~Max Eastman

**********

Don't give cherries to pigs or advice to fools.  ~Irish Proverb

**********

A sense of humor is the ability to understand a joke-and that the joke is oneself.  ~Clifton Paul Fadiman

**********

It is better to weep with wise men than to laugh with fools. ~Spanish proverb

**********

I have great faith in fools — self-confidence, my friends call it. ~Edgar Allan Poe

**********

The aim of a joke is not to degrade the human being, but to remind him that he is already degraded. ~George Orwell

**********

Men reach their sexual peak at eighteen.  Women reach theirs at thirty-five.  Do you get the feeling that God is playing a practical joke?  ~Rita Rudner

**********

Suppose the world were only one of God's jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?  ~George Bernard Shaw

**********

Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job.  ~Author Unknown

**********

One thing kids like is to be tricked.  For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse.  "Oh, no," I said.  "Disneyland burned down."  He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke.  I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.  ~Jack Handey

A Priest, an Imam, and a Minister walk into a bar. The Rabbi ducks...

I like to practice cerebral humor. That means I think I’m funny.

In a perfect world, election day would be right before tax day. April 1st seems particularly appropriate.

The fact that Terry Jones was the narrator should have been a clue that something was a bit off.
