I love Dave Barry.
This is a list of 14 things that took him 50 years to learn.
Hysterical.

- Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
- If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”
- There is a very fine line between hobby and “mental illness.”
- People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
- You should not confuse your career with your life.
- Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.
- Never lick a steak knife.
- The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
- You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
- You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
- There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
- The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.
- A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
- Your friends love you anyway.
ps.
thanks to all you folks that have checked out “Cats that look like Hitler”
You’re making my blog stats go crazy! I love that!
I totally agree about people who are rude to waiters and waitresses. It shows their true character.

What a great list. I especially love the first one (for obvious reasons – and yes, I have actually done this) and the last one. Those two strike me as the purest of truths.

Most very true but for me; I do not want my husband to dance – it’s worse than Elaine from Seinfeld. 🙂

You mean people don’t want to spend money on me once a year to celebrate what is, to them, essentially the same as any other day?
Geez. No wonder no one calls me any more.

The picture in your banner is so different from your usual — but it’s so fittingly pretty!

Damn, I love a man that makes me laugh! 😉 That goes for both you and Mr. Barry.
Looks like I’m back on the web. Your site is looking dramatic… I’m diggin’ it.
