Reminds me of the time, many years ago, that I took Mrs. Neon to NYC for the first time.  Told her we were going to Little Italy for a real Italian dinner.  Went to a famous restaurant (famous for a mob hit there many years ago).  The waiter's name was Juan.  I thought, funny, I never heard that name in an Italian family.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

My "Changing the Clocks" rant for the day.

 

Went to Walmart early this am for the first time since the time change.  Was there shortly after opening and there were so many cars already in the parking lot.  Couldn't even park in my preferred first row parking space.  I even had to wait to check out.  WHY?  Why are so many people shopping so early.   Time change I assume.

 

Why can't they wait until I'm finished?

 

Very frustrating.
