I agree with most of those! However the first one really stands out to me as I know of unsuccessful marriages -- who doesn't. Good thoughts though. Thanks for the post!

The 19th sounds from Mark Twain, or fairly similar.

OK - Ponder the following things...

Number 10
Life is sexually transmitted.

Number 9
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Number 8
Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him with a sandwich, you know what's for dessert.

Number 7
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

Number 6
Some people are like a Slinky ... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

Number 5
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Number 4
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Number 3
Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax cut saves you 30¢?

Number 2
In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2007:
We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in America but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located.
Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.

Remember - "Life is like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow".

Hi Gentleman

You're not just an age,
Or an hourly wage.
You're more than your e-mail address.

You're not just some size,
Or the shape of your thighs,
Or the make of the car
you possess.

You're not just your PIN,
Or the shade of your skin,
Or the place you were born,
or the date.

You're not your IQ,
Or the width of your shoe,
Your zip code, your height,
or your weight.

You can't be defined
By your zodiac sign,
Or the lines in the palm
of your hand.

It's not who you know
Or the money you owe,
Your blood type or cereal brand.

You're one-of-a-kind
With a fabulous mind
And a spirit
that's quite unconventional!

That makes you a treasure
Which cannot be measured
With numbers or checks
on a chart.

You're truly tremendous,
Amazing, stupendous!
Believe it with all of your heart!
