- Accept the fact that some days you’re the pigeon, and some days you’re the statue!
- Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
- Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
- Never buy a car you can’t push.
- Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.
- Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
- Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
- Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
- A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
- Save the earth….. It’s the only planet with chocolate!* I THINK !!!!

Life is a story, and I am a little part of it.
I enjoyed these.
I had an older friend who, every time I saw him, asked me what I was reading lately. It kept me on my toes because I would be embarrassed to answer, “nothing”. lol
No. 11 Engage brain before opening mouth.
These are always funny – which defies the wisdom that truth hurts
What if one is the statue all the time?
The late waking bird will get the late waking worm.
The rest are priceless.
Tilly – Good.
Delores – I might have said “Your face”!
Warren – I need to remember to do that.
shackman – We can find fun everywhere, if only we take time to look.
Ramana – Sometimes I feel like the statue.
Oh, these are hilarious! Thanks for the laugh!
Love number one, can’t stop laughing. Can’t imagine one being the statue all the time.

GM,
I just thought of a dish you can suggest for your Monday morning recipe.
First you can ask this question and then give the recipe as your answer.
Question: What do you call a Pope who resigns?
Answer: Ex Benedict
Nancy, are you playing with a whole dozen or are you minus one ex?
gigi – Glad you enjoyed them.
Maxi – I bet life up on a pedestal is very cold. Brrrr!
Nancy – Now that is a funny story, but not a recipe I ever made, the Hollandaise sauce, would put me off.
I read Ulysses once, a while back. I thought it would look cool to be caught with it, until I was caught reading it out loud by a stranger. I told him it was better read out loud but I knew he thought I was nuts. If I was caught dead with it I’d be pretty proud, though.
I keep forgetting about no. 7, thanks for reminding that it’s something worth celebrating 🙂
K8 – I found in the bucket round the back reading or singing Ulysses out loud to the tune of Happy Birthday!
Excellent. I especially like “Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.” Of course it depends whether the person who discovers you likes or dislikes the book in question – or has even heard of it. I suspect a lot of my reading choices would mean nothing to the typical death-discoverer.
Nick – I never thought of the fact that the finder might not know the language in the book.
This is a terrific list, especially number 5. Where do you come up with these?
Alice – I have collected so many thoughts and quotes over the years, that I decided to make use of them for posts every now and then.
