The rest are useless. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>There are many different religions in this world, but if you look at them carefully, you&#8217;ll see that they all have one thing in common: They were invented by a giant, super intelligent slug named Dennis. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You should just name your third kid Baby. Trust me\u2014it&#8217;ll save you a lot of hassle. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can have many different jobs and still be lazy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy the great taste of Duff. Yes, Duff is the only beer for me. Smooth, creamy Duff . . . <i>zzzzzzzzzzzzz.<\/i> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can get free stuff if you mention a product in a magazine interview. Like Chips Ahoy! cookies. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You may think it&#8217;s easier to de-ice your windshield with a flamethrower, but there are repercussions. <i>Serious<\/i> repercussions. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>There are some things that just aren&#8217;t meant to be eaten. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The intelligent man wins his battles with pointed words. I&#8217;m sorry\u2014I meant <i>sticks,<\/i> pointed sticks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>There are way too many numbers. The world would be a better place if we lost half of them\u2014starting with 8. I&#8217;ve always hated 8. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>If I had a dollar for every time I heard \u201cMy God! He&#8217;s covered in some sort of goo,\u201d I&#8217;d be a rich man. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Be generous in the bedroom\u2014share your sandwich. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve climbed the highest mountains . . . fallen down the deepest valleys . . . I&#8217;ve been to Japan and Africa . . . and I&#8217;ve even gone into space. But I&#8217;d trade it all for a piece of candy right now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Every creature on God&#8217;s earth has a right to exist. Except for that damn ruby-throated South American warbler. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t need a surgeon telling me how to operate on myself. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I think there&#8217;s no reason to get out of bed . . . then I feel wet, and I realize there is. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Let me just say, Winnie the Pooh getting his head caught in a honey pot? It&#8217;s not funny. It can really happen. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Even though it is awesome and powerful, I don&#8217;t take no guff from the ocean. <\/p>\n<p>I never ate an animal I didn&#8217;t like. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>A fool and his money are soon parted. I would pay anyone a lot of money to explain that to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Give a man a fish and he&#8217;ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he&#8217;ll get a hook caught on his eyelid or something. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I made a deal with myself ten years ago . . . and got ripped off. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Never leave your car keys in a reactor core. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Always trust your first instinct\u2014unless it tells you to use your life savings to develop a Destructo Ray. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>When you borrow something from your neighbor, always do it under the cover of darkness.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>If a spaceship landed and aliens took me back to their planet and made me their leader, and I got to spend the rest of my life eating doughnuts and watching alien dancing girls and ruling with a swift and merciless hand? That would be sweet. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I may not be the richest man on earth. Or the smartest. Or the handsomest. <\/p>\n<p>Never throw a butcher knife in anger. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The office is no place for off-color remarks or offensive jokes. That&#8217;s why I never go there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>My favorite color is chocolate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Always feel with your heart, although it&#8217;s better with your hands. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The hardest thing I&#8217;ve had to face as a father was burying my own child. He climbed back out, but it still hurts. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>If doctors are so right, why am I still alive? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not afraid to say the word <i>racism<\/i>, or the words <i>doormat<\/i> and <i>bee stinger.<\/i> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Always have plenty of clean white shirts and blue pants. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>When that guy turned water into wine, he obviously wasn&#8217;t thinking of us Duff drinkers. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I love natural disasters because we&#8217;re allowed to get out of work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m dead, I&#8217;m going to sleep. Oh, man, am I going to sleep. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>What kind of fool would leave a pie on a windowsill, anyway?<!-- PRINTABLE articletext END --> <\/p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-109\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/saturday-august-24-2002-at-0946-pm?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-google-plus-1\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"sharing-google-109\" class=\"share-google-plus-1 sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/saturday-august-24-2002-at-0946-pm?share=google-plus-1\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Google+\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-109\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/saturday-august-24-2002-at-0946-pm?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/djmgyx.net\/WP\/thoughts\/saturday-august-24-2002-at-0946-pm?share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class='sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-post-wrapper-1235658-109-69e07951a7a52' data-src='\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/#blog_id=1235658&amp;post_id=109&amp;origin=djmgyx.net&amp;obj_id=1235658-109-69e07951a7a52' data-name='like-post-frame-1235658-109-69e07951a7a52'><h3 class='sd-title'>Like this:<\/h3><div class='likes-widget-placeholder post-likes-widget-placeholder' style='height:55px'><span class='button'><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading...<\/span><\/div><span class='sd-text-color'><\/span><a class='sd-link-color'><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>?
