I think I'm catching cold. I'd like a grilled cheese sandwich, and some home made chicken noodle soup. That's probably not what I am, but it's what I would like.

(Stop me if I've told this one before . . . ) So this guy walks into his doctor's office with a sprig of parsley in one ear, asparagus in the other, and a carrot stick up his nose. He says, "Doc, what's my problem?" and the doctor says, "You're not eating right."

A duck walks into a Victoria's Secret and buys a negligee for his girlfriend. The clerk asks him, "May I put that on your bill?" The duck answers, "I'm not that kind of duck."

That's true,Doug.

beerfan95 on 2014-02-25 08:49:05

The legend covers only his exciting adventures away from home. Between adventures, he raised peonies and created prize-winning needlepoint pillows.

tfw on 2016-01-02 05:47:44
He was very good at needlework, but the needles he used were very large and shot from bows.

— Alfred Hitchcock

Lurker on 2010-05-18 23:36:36
My new favorite quote.

leslie65 on 2010-12-15 10:43:49
I would have solved it faster but I was busy laughing at the quote so far!

montyb on 2012-04-26 16:33:38
Hilarious! And I like bagpipes.

abra on 2014-07-20 14:16:52
I like the one that says, the Irish gave the Scots the bagpipes as a joke, and the Scots still haven't gotten the joke.

oddcouple on 2015-01-26 17:06:26
Joe is walking down the street when he sees his friend Jack carrying a pig under his arm. Joe asks "where did you get such an ugly animal?" The pig says "I won him in a raffle."

Hash on 2015-01-14 07:40:27
With more sympathy I could learn a lot during intercourse.

ruxpin66 on 2015-12-26 03:21:37
Disagree with this.

LLapp on 2016-04-07 17:05:29
I've tried multi-tasking, but it just doesn't work to learn differential equations during intercourse.

"It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste. "
— Henry Ford

sputnick on 2013-08-20 15:50:52
These quotes about wasting time always sting a little bit when they come up...

locodad on 2014-02-08 09:46:04
i don't think Mr. Ford did cryptograms or else he might have thought it was fun and not a waste of time

wvwoman on 2014-12-20 15:51:11
i tell myself i'm exercising my brain. (gotta rationalize it one way or another!)

marnita on 2015-07-25 15:19:33
Time that is enjoyed is not wasted. There's more to life than making automobiles.

oddcouple on 2015-09-04 01:37:43
So the race really does belong to the tortoise, right? Now i can feel better about losing all those races when I was young.

Does he know behind every Large businessman there is a good woman.

insomniac on 2015-04-19 20:24:17
My mantle's covered in dust and candlesticks, not folds.

dovid1946 on 2015-05-06 13:58:53
Mantle never folded. He was great in the clutch.

montyb on 2015-10-07 17:11:56

Lol montyb, did you just call me a mollusk?

Sense imagery from Darkyr

"Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics - it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality." — John W. Gardner

darkyr on 2016-09-13 04:44:47
Time for a spoonful of suck-it-up-and-swallow-it-down. Tastes like cherries soaked in motor oil, but you will be better in no time.

"Optimism is a kind of heart stimulant - the digitalis of failure."
— Elbert Hubbard

tabbyclaw on 2011-05-16 07:57:02
To be taken under strict medical supervision and fatal in large doses?

montyb on 2013-03-08 23:08:58
Ask your doctor or pharmicist if optimism is right for you.

Gifted on 2014-12-10 07:30:32
no fatalities or ill side effects have been reported

wordfairy on 2015-03-08 23:09:06
These statements have not been approved by the FDA.

LLapp on 2015-03-17 11:36:38
For rebuttal, see "Bright-Sided: How Positive Thinking Is Undermining America," by Barbara Ehrenreich.

darkyr on 2016-05-06 10:16:20
Remember, Optimism is not right for everyone, and side effects may vary. If you should experience a sudden loss of vision this may be a sign of a more serious condition.

Proverb fails fact-checking

"The back of one door is the face of another." — Proverb

mumu on 2011-11-20 15:30:52
Actually, that's not true.

chopstix on 2013-04-12 18:48:27
yeah, it would be the same door

kb83 on 2014-07-11 05:44:27
Yeah, going back to where you trying to leave from!

dovid1946 on 2015-01-02 17:18:47
how about if it is a revolving door, and you get caught in it and gunned down by fat Clemenza

Barnabas on 2015-08-25 17:32:25
The back of Regan MacNeil's head is the face of Regan MacNeil.

LLapp on 2015-12-25 15:48:39
This is not the full proverb. It ends with, "Wait, wasn't I just in this same room?"

RustySkipper on 2016-06-26 11:45:12
How can the back of a door transfer to another door?
