20 Things I Learned From Life

  • Between conspiracy and incompetency, bet on incompetency.

  • There is no such thing as extra cash, unless it belongs to someone else.

  • Some pain is unavoidable. The rest is usually of your own doing.

  • There will always be someone smarter than you. In a battle of wits, if you can't win, you can always cheat!

  • No matter how good a driver you think you are, at some point, you will get honked at a called a dirty name.

  • Life is more fun when you can laugh at yourself, but the most fun when you can laugh at someone else.

  • Life is too short to eat Brussels sprouts. See item 3

  • Children are a joy in your life, especially when they are sleeping.

  • You can always use another cup of coffee.

  • Paperwork is an invention of the Devil. There can be no other explanation.

  • Life without video games is not a life worth living.

  • If at all possible avoid public restrooms. If not possible, keep your will up to date.

  • If your are a man, avoid all conversation in said restrooms. Get in, do your business get out. If you are a woman, ignore this advice completely.

  • Think before you speak. Idle words can sometimes cause the most harm.

  • If the above is not possible, then at least try and be witty about it. That way you can pass it off as a good joke and the offended person as someone with no 'sense of humor'.

  • If you find you aren't suited for any honest professions, try your hand at politics. Everyone loves a liar and a cheat.

  • Plant at least one tree in your life. This means you can drive an SUV with a 'Love Your Mother Earth' bumper sticker without feeling guilty.

  • Avoid accepting too much blame for things you've done wrong. See item 3.

  • Worry less. Eat more bacon. You might live a shorter life, but at least you will smile more.

  • Relax and enjoy what you've been given. Somewhere someone else wishes they could live your life.

    Missy-

    I hate brussel sprouts!

    I've never met anyone who 'loves' them. People who eat them, yes, but never anyone who would trade them for say, ice cream.
