"Press 1 for Support. Press 2 if you're with 60 Minutes. Press 3 if you're with the FTC."
"We can fix this, but you're gonna need a butter knife, a roll of duct tape and a car battery."
"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."
"In layman's terms, we call that the Hindenburg Effect."

I pulled into a crowded parking lot and rolled down the car windows to
make sure my Labrador retriever had fresh air.
She was stretched out on the back seat, and I wanted to impress upon her
that she must remain
there.
I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying
emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay!"
The driver of a nearby car gave me a startled look.
"I don't know about you, lady," he said incredulously. "But I usually
just put my car in park."

During the second Gulf War, I was an Air Force colonel. I routinely flew on different aircraft to familiarize myself with their capabilities. One day I was aboard an intelligence aircraft where each crew member was surrounded by complex gear.
A young major showed me his computer screen. "That's a chat screen, Sir," the soldier said. "We use it to relay enemy information to the crew. It's like instant messaging."
Nodding, I moved down the line. Flashing on an airman's screen several feet away was this warning: "Heads up! The colonel's on the way!"

Excerpts from Real Science Papers Written by Kids
One horsepower is the amount of energy it takes to drag a horse
500 feet in one second.

mind.

with atoms. But when they broke open atoms, they found them
stuffed with explosions.

the sun, it is really only centrificating.

change into a sun in the daytime.
A vibration is a motion that cannot make up its mind which way it
wants to go.
Many dead animals of the past changed to fossils, others
preferred to become oil.

know they are there.
Some people can tell what time it is by looking at the sun. But
I have never been able to make out the numbers.
I am not sure how clouds get formed. But the clouds know how to
do it, and that is the important thing.

Rain is saved up in cloud banks.

will kill the strongest man.

Late one Saturday evening, I was awakened by the ringing of my phone.
In a sleepy grumpy voice I said hello. The party on the other end of
the line paused for a moment before rushing breathlessly into a lengthy
speech.
"Mom, this is Susan and I'm sorry I woke you up, but I had to call
because I'm going to be a little late getting home. See, Dad's car has
a flat but it's not my fault. Honest! I don't know what happened. The
tire just went flat while we were inside the theater. Please don't be
mad, okay?"
Since I don't have any daughters, I knew the person had dialed my number
by mistake.
"I'm sorry dear," I replied, "but you've reached the wrong number. I
don't have a daughter named Susan."
"Wow, Mom," the young woman's voice replied, "I didn't think you'd be
this mad."

Five things you won't hear a Redneck say
1) I'll take Quantum Physics for a thousand, Alex.
2) No way Duct Tape can fix that.
3) I'll have a Light Raspberry Lager and a pack of KOOL, please.
4) You can't feed that to a dog.
5) I just love the regular chitchat with my hair stylist, especially when the
new GQ comes out.
Crookedness refers to the means by which people accomplish their objectives—doing whatever it takes to get what they want. Shortcuts to success are applauded. Some even boast about how they circumvent the law. Perversion refers to the way people distort the truth. For example, I heard about three teenagers who wanted to end their stay in a youth hostel long before their expected departure. They angrily insisted that the manager return their nonrefundable deposit. When he finally gave in and the three teens were on their way out, they exclaimed to the hostel's other guests that they had been forced to leave. We may sometimes get hurt by the crooked behavior and distorted thinking of people. But we are called to be "blameless and harmless" and to "shine as lights in the world" (Philippians 2:15). Let's show the world a different way of living. —Albert Lee
The light of the world to be, To lift up the lamp of the Savior That others His light may see. —Anon. The straight and narrow way is God's way for a crooked generation.

Who can forget the classic "Play it again, Sam" line in Casablanca; "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn" in Gone With the Wind; "You can't handle the truth," from Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men; "Life is like a box of chocolates....", Forrest Gump......

You could call today's generation "crooked and perverse," just as Paul described his own generation in Philippians 2:15. Even Moses would have understood what Paul was talking about, for he said of Israel, "They have corrupted themselves; they are not His children, because of their blemish: a perverse and crooked generation" (Deuteronomy 32:5).
