Thread: Quip Of The Day

Scene Setting: Australian Parliament, where politicians "debate" issue of the day. The Speaker is like a referee.

Politician: "The honourable Member has the brains of a chicken!"

Speaker: "You will retract that statement."

Politician: "My apologies Mr Speaker. Yes, I will retract my statement - the honourable member does not have the brains of a chicken."

James.

"People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid."

Soren Aabye Kierkegaard

From a mom to her young son in response to his question, " What's the difference between a fact and an opinion?"

Replies the Mom, " A fact is when I call you son; an opinion is when your father does."

I broke up with my psychiatrist last week. I told him I think I have suicidal tendencies. He told me "from now on I have to pay in advance."

Two psychotherapists pass each other in the hallway. The first says to the second, "Hello!"

The second smiles back nervously and half nods his head. When he is comfortably out of earshot, he mumbles, "God, I wonder what *that* was all about?"

Now that's a good one.

Added that one to my file of, "Snappy Answers".

Excellent!

I get a bang out of that!

Heard this one the other day from a former colleague.

"Leaving a lasting impression at a previous job is like leaving your handprint in a bucket of water."

"The worst piece of bad luck to a busy man is to make a favorable impression on a bore!"
