"The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it."

Terry Pratchett

Not sure if I shared this with everyone but this is a great comeback when you are talking to that one person who knows everything about everything.

"You who think you know it all; Are very annoying to those of us who do."

The version I’ve heard goes like

Me: You know, between the two of us, I bet we know everything there is to know.
Them: Really?
Me: Yeah. You seem to know everything except that you’re a loudmouth know-it-all, and I know that.
Sung'manitu Author Icon - Sounds like we got different versions. Maybe whoever told it to me long ago just shortened it...lol

Either version works. *Cool*

Another corny joke of the Day.

Horse trots into a bar,
bartender looks at him and asks,
why the long face? *Facepalm*

Quilli ☕ Author Icon - This one I've taken from the archives from 40 years ago. So, I guess he's off the hook. *Bigsmile*
So the horse takes offence and tries a other bar. The new barman tells him, sorry but we don't serve horses here. The horse thinks fast and says, I'm not a horse, I'm an ass. We don't serve asses either smirks the barman. The horse turns his head slowly left then right. Then says, I beg to differ!
Adherennium Author Icon - I like this one. *Bigsmile*

"If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world."

I found this recently from the early 1970's and thought I'd share. I was 16 at the time.


I believe in Right because without Right there's the absence of God.

I believe in God because without Him there's the absence of Love.

I believe in Love because without Love there's the absence of You.

I believe in YOU because without YOU there's the absence of ME.

Corny Joke of The Day:

Q. What do you call a hotdog with no insides?

A. A Holloweenie. *Rolling* *Bigsmile*
The Senility Prayer

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Wise words.
SandraLynn Author Icon - Very much so. I wrote a writing similar to this one as well. Very short but in a different way.

Amethyst Angel 🍀 Author Icon - I hate suits and ties with a passion. I had a to wear a tie for work. N suit since I drove buses and I hated it. I even got rid of all suits I had in my house. One thing is I'm neither of the two mentioned. I'm just a human piece of protoplasm floating in the universe, observing. *Smile*
Except at a nudist gathering...

Amethyst Angel 🍀 Author Icon - When you hurry down the path for that one beautiful bloom you see at the end. You miss all the small beautiful flowers around you. Just a thought.
Amethyst Angel 🍀 Author Icon - I see joy and happiness as being interchangeable, though each may have a different element about them but I feel they do converge.
Ichabod Crane-writing-reading. Author Icon - I don't miss anything my friend. I've always took the time and smell all the flowers from the lowliest weed to the most brilliant flora all the way to the end and everything inbetween. To miss one IMO is a tragedy in and of itself. *Smile*
