Never Squat With Your Spurs on
Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the greatest political sages America has ever known.
Some of his sayings: 1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are two 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 into your pocket.
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. Letting 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's 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're old.
God bless
We’re old, and many have Sometimer’s , so we thank you!
Ahh--one that the Dems have been ignoring.
He also said ‘I never met a man I didn’t like, except for Wiley Post’.
Excellent refresher...
I was only two years old when he died in the plane crash, so I do not remember much about it...
One I invented: “Youth is wasted on the young”
Thanks for the chuckles! 👍😁
Those are outstanding! I always appreciate your posts.
As an old white woman, I have recently used my sense of humor with a few black professional men. They love laughter! Everyone does.
Excellent! Sage advice.
Democrats of his day were only stupid, how refreshing.

They died together too.
'Cause you'll feel it in the end.
Thanks. Copied and sent around to friends.
I wasn't born until 1947, but grew up hearing about Will Rogers, and seeing clips of him on TV. I think Bob Hope was the next great political jokester. He loved taking swats at Democrats.
“Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.”
Dang. That is the nuclear option on the matter.
Bob Hope’s best known political joke was when he compared democrat voters to zombies.
P. J. O’Rourke had a similar line about “the good old days.” “One word—dentistry.”
I woke up with aches and pains today, but I WOKE UP!
Cheers!
