Thread: Quip Of The Day

For many years when I was in my mid teens and early twenties I worked summer green pea harvest for Green Giant Co. The Shop Foreman had a Calligraphy piece that his wife had given him and I’ve always liked it! Perhaps someday I can find the right picture to include and someone to do the fancy lettering!

It said:

When you are up to your ass in alligators
It’s hard to remember
That your initial goal
Was to drain the swamp!

I ran into an old classmate the other day and she has aged so much that she didn't recognize me.

Heh, there are lots of age jokes based upon that gag. Victor Borge would say

"There are three things I can never remember........................ no, four."

Or youth

My 4 year old grandson came through the door after not having seen him for 3 weeks. I said “Damn Son, you look like a Hippie, we need to get you a haircut.” He has hair like a Labrador, so thick it repels water.

He said “What’s a Hippy, Grandpa?”

So we Googled Hippy and a photo of Haight-Ashbury and a dude with a full beard and mushroom cloud of hair flashed on the screen.

He said “That’s not a hippy, that’s a woman with a beard!”

""He said “That’s not a hippy, that’s a woman with a beard!"”

Where did he see my ex wife??

Let me settle this thing about old age and me. Age is old, not me.

Here's a good one from the master, Douglas Adams.

"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't. "
