1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He WILL NOT use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
6. You should not confuse your career with your life.
7. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
8. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
10. Never lick a steak knife.
11. Take out the fortune before you eat the cookie.
12. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
13. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
14. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
15. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
16. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
17. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.
18. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
19. Your friends love you anyway.
Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.
Never try to out-stubborn a cat.

I completely agree with this and I would add the words, "And Often Successful".
Also a great test for a potential mate. If they treat the waiter like crap, they'll probably treat you the same way when you become 'familiar'.
and that person will post a vanity on Free Republic to share their indignation.
Ouch.
Does that include lurking on FR?
Have you seen:
No, I don't suffer from my mental illness, I enjoy every minute of it!
What is a luch? Hehehehe
...and that person will post a vanity on Free Republic to share their indignation.
Yeah, that or an opus...
I must disagree with #13. Daylight time is useful because, a) during summer months, the sun comes up so early that the morning daylight is wasted, as few are yet awake at sunrise; and b) the extra hour of daylight lengthens the time available for outdoor recreation.
Thus, you gain an hour of sunshine at, effectively, no cost.
