"16 Things That Took Me 50 Years to Learn"

I found this at another forum. This made my evening.

By Dave Barry, Nationally Syndicated Columnist

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. (I wish I had!)

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 21.

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine . . . They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

FINAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2030, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them
I can't think of anything to put here right now.

Yea... hit the Ark with a huge iceberg and see how that works out...

Wow good job Einstein, you've completely debunked his inspiring words. You must be so proud

KOP_Snake, the problem with the Titanic was how they boasted it as the unsinkable ship. Had they of given the ship a proper number of life boats (meaning enough to hold everyone on the ship versus like 1500 of the people) and not sat there and claimed it was the unsinkable ship, then no one would know today what the Titanic was. Those 2 things as well as it sinking on the maiden voyage made it famous.
I can't think of anything to put here right now.

Wasn't the Ark made by God, and the Titanic made by men to show that "even God could not sink it?"

God told Noah how to build the ark, but Noah was the one who actually built it
Moo.

The last one is funny, I should consider number five in mind...

Am I the only one who didn't find that funny (except for the final note)

Some of them didn't even make sense to me.

They sound like some of the after-school morals taught on The-N.
