Truth is allowed only a brief interval of victory between the two long periods when it is condemned as paradox or belittled as trivial.

RED SKELTON'S -TIPS FOR A HAPPY MARRIAGE  

 1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little
 beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.

 2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in Calif. and mine is in Texas.

 3. I take my wife everywhere.....but she keeps finding her way back.

 4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary.
 "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.

 5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.

 6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread
 maker. She said "There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric  chair.

 7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was
 water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was; she told me "In the
 lake."

 8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud
 fell off.

  9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling "Am I too late for the
 garbage?"    The driver said "No, jump in!"

 10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.

 11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was Always.

 12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to  don't like to
 interrupt her.

 13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked "What's on
 the TV?"  I said "Dust!"

 Zen-type Thoughts

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

4. Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.

5. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

6. No one is listening until you fart.

7. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

8. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

9. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

11. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

13. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

14. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

19. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

20. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

21. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.

22. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

23. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

24. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

25. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our butt...then things get worse.

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

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

28. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.

30. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.
