Deep thoughts

I think we look back at times past with fondness because we were younger. Life had not yet begun pecking away at our innocence like buzzards on fresh roadkill. (Craig Ferguson)

Why do we have a shark week? Why not just a day? I mean really, an entire week?

---

Have you seen some of the stuff posted on Facebook lately? Yeah, me neither.

I think a funny thing to do is when people start talking about something I don't want to talk about is to start singing "Baby Got Back" really loud.

My therapist told me it's your fault I blame everyone else for my problems.

Joke corner

A small boy, about 6 years old, knocked on my door. Something of his had found its way into my garage, he said, and he wanted it back.

Upon opening the garage door, I noticed two things: a baseball and a broken window sporting a baseball-sized hole.

"How do you suppose this ball got in here?" I asked the boy.

The boy looked at the ball, then the window, then at me and exclaimed, "Wow! I must have thrown it right through that hole in your window!"
