The reason we all like to think so well of others is that we are all afraid for ourselves. The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
Author: Oscar Wilde
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

The report of my death was an exaggeration.

The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except yourself.

Some years ago, Michael J. Flanagan, a
successful New York
contractor, was standing on the deck of the Staten
Island Ferry when a car got
loose and sent him into the river where
he drowned.
The following Sunday his widow, all decked out in
deepest black, was
standing on the church steps after Mass, receiving
condolences and
enjoying every minute of it, when an old friend of
the contractor came up.
"I'm sorry, Mary, for your trouble,"
offered the friend. "Did Mike
leave you well fixed?"
"Oh, he
did!" she said. "He left me almost a half million dollars."
"Well now, that's not bad for a man who couldn't read or write."
"Nor swim either," added the widow.

Mrs. Dugan and Mrs. Riley were talking one
day about Mr. Riley and his
constant drinking. Mrs. Dugan said, "I
have an idea about how to stop
him from spending so much time at the
pub. Every night he comes home
through the cemetery. One night you
should get disguised and spook him
when he comes staggering
through."
So Mrs. Riley waited in the cemetery one night until she
heard her
husband coming. She jumped up and a startled Riley said,
"Who are you??"
Mrs. Riley replied, "I am the devil!"
With
that, Riley shook her hand and said, "Glad to meet ya, I'm
married
to your sister."

It's for my mother-in-law," explained the
mourner at
the funeral procession. Tightening the leash, he gestured
down at the
dog and said, "My Doberman here killed
her."
"Gee...That's terrible," commiserated the spectator. "But...
Hmmmm...
Is there anyway you might lend me your dog for a day or so?"
The
bereaved son-in-law pointed his thumb over his shoulder and
answered, "Get in line."

young couple
were on their honeymoon. The
husband was sitting in the bathroom on the
edge of the bathtub
saying to himself, "Now how can I tell my wife that
I've got really
smelly feet and that my socks absolutely stink? I've
managed to keep
it from her while we were dating, but she's bound to
find out
sooner or later that my feet stink. Now how do I tell
her?"
Meanwhile, the wife was sitting in the bed saying to herself, "Now how
do I
tell my husband that I've got really bad breath? I've been very
lucky to keep it from him while we were courting, but as soon as he's
lived with me for a week, he's bound to find out. Now how do I tell
him gently?"
The husband finally plucks up enough courage to
tell his wife and so he
walks into the bedroom. He walks over to
the bed, climbs over to his
wife, puts his arm around her neck, moves
his face very close to hers and
says, "Darling, I've a c
onfession to make."
And she says, "So have I, love."
To
which he replies, "Don't tell me, you've eaten my socks."

A psychiatrist visited a
California
mental institution and asked a patient, "How did you get here? What
was
the nature of your illness?" He got the following reply.
"Well,
it all started when I got married and I guess I should never
have
done it. I married a widow with a grown daughter who then became my
stepdaughter.
My dad came to visit us, fell in love with my
lovely stepdaughter, then
married her. And so my stepdaughter was now
my stepmother. Soon, my
wife had a son who was, of course, my
daddy's brother-in-law since he is
the half-brother of my stepdaughter,
who is now, of course, my daddy's
wife.
So, as I told you,
when my stepdaughter married my daddy, she was at
once my
stepmother! Now, since my new son is brother to my stepmother, he
also
became my uncle. As you know, my wife is my step-grandmother since
she
is my stepmother's mother. Don't forget that my stepmother is my
r
stepdaughter. Remember, too, that I am my wife's
grandson.
But hold on just a few minutes more. You see, since I'm married to my
step-grandmother, I am not only the wife's grandson and her hubby,
but
I am also my own grandfather. Now can you understand how I got
put in
this place?"
After staring blanky with a dizzy look
on his face, the psychiatrist
replied: "Move over!"
