Or those best at fighting are best in physique and best in health.

Putting books in a house doesn’t make children more successful. Reading to them, demonstrating a love of reading, encouraging them to be readers is the issue.

Any dolt can put a book on a shelf.

I have this theory about the sun coming up every morning. My theory is that the sun doesn’t really go up, but rather we are moving.

But it needs some more validation.

I think I will try to get a couple of million in a grant.

Two guys stop to urinate off a bridge.

The first guy says, “Boy, that water is cold.”

The second guy says, “And the bottom is rocky and the fish are biting.”

I never said how long the ruler was.

You are familiar with the Astronomical Unit as a unit of measure?

Everything is about attracting women.

True enough. Everything earthly at least.

Oh my. We’ve started something now!? Keep a firm grasp on it lest O tries to redistribute it to the less fortunate. After all, you didn’t earn all that by yourself, did you?!

People need to bear this kind of thing in mind before estimating women too highly.

“It’s deep too”


Yes, I like that punch line too. But the thought of fish nibbling just gives it that “je ne cais quoi” that makes me feel just a little uncomfortable.

Its like the second guys wins, but at a price. Ha ha.
