19 THINGS THAT TOOK ME 50 YEARS TO LEARN

by Dave Barry

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 powerful 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 11.

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.

19. Your friends love you anyway.
