Some of these you've seen before, but they're still good.


I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.


Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.


The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.


Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.


There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead


Life is sexually transmitted.


Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.


The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth


Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.


Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.


Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?


Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.


All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.


In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.


How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?


Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"


Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt."


Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?


If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?


Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?


Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if they are going to look up there anyway?


If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?


If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?


Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?


Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?


Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?


Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
 
Terrorists--most of them came here legally, but they hung around on
these expired visas, some for as long as 10-15 years. Now, compare that
to Blockbuster; you are two days late with a video and those people are
all over you. Let's put Blockbuster in charge of immigration.

Why is it that you park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?

Never been on the Garden State Parkway on a summer Saturday morning, have you, SR? Trust me... with all the folks trying to get to the Jersey shore, it's a parking lot. [roll]

Gawd I hate the GSPW! 8)

As we'd say in NJ if you called it the "GSPW", "Y'all ain't from 'round here, are ya?"

No "W" needed (in more ways than one, since it's a blue state!). Just the GSP.

They've ripped out some of the toll booths and doubled the tolls in the remaining ones, so the traffic should be a little better. And they've got a high-speed EZ-Pass lane at mile 165... just breeze through at 70MPH. I love it. Wish the Mass Pike would get a clue.

Ross- you must have forgotten that I grew up on Long Island, 4 blocks south of the major route to the Hamptons. Every Labor to Memorial day weekend is gridlock due to mass exodus. Plus, the LIE truly is a lie since the "E" stands for expressway. Only thing express about that is everyone expressing their anger by flipping you off for being in their way... [roll] [lol]

Yup, sure did. I recall that the traffic reporter on WOR AM used to call it the longest parking lot in the world. [roll]
 
Gee I've never had any trouble on either the GSPW or the LIE. One time on the GSPW I had no traffic on the 4th of July! Noone believed me though.

I hate the GWB (george washington bridge) when your heading south on the cross bronx. I spent a nice 5 hours there one day.

Second worse is Connecticut, where traffic jams are started for sheer fun apparently.

NEVER take 95 south through the Bronx... G-d help you if you break down there, because no one else will. I always go down 84 through CT to 684 in NY to the Sawmill River Parkway to 87 across the Tappan Zee Bridge and then down the GSP.
 
That's the route I take too.

One thing that creeps me out on the GSP is the deer-as-big-as-dogs that come out at night!

HUNDREDS of them in the southern reaches (I used to drive to Cape May about once a month). Never saw any of them on the road, but I was always worried....seems they hang out in packs of 10 or more!

Arrrr
