Life Observations….
1) “When I die, I want to die like my grandfather–who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.” –Author Unknown
2) Advice for the day: If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: “Take two aspirin” and “Keep away from children.” –Author Unknown
3) “Oh, you hate your job? Why didn’t you say so? There’s a support group for that. It’s called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.” –Drew Carey
4) “The problem with the designated driver program, it’s not a desirable job, but if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house.” –Jeff Foxworthy
5) “If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant’s life, she will choose to save the infant’s life without even considering if there is a man on base.” –Dave Barry
6) “Relationships are hard. It’s like a full-time job, and we should treat it like one. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants to leave you; they should give you two weeks’ notice. There should be severance pay, and the day before they leave you, they should have to find you a temp.” –Bob Ettinger
7) “My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, ‘Mom, they weren’t trying to teach you how to swim’.” –Paula Poundstone
8) “A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: “Duh.” –Conan O’Brien
9) “Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant?? I’m halfway through my fish burger and I realize, Oh my God… I could be eating a slow learner.” –Lynda Montgomery
10) “I think that’s how Chicago got started. Bunch of people in New York said, ‘Gee, I’m enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn’t cold enough. Let’s go west.'” –Richard Jeni
Hey I’m just saying. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT
THURSDAY people, stay safe, and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up!

English professors love to catch the errors students make in their term papers, and they love nothing better than
to catch mixed metaphors. The “friends and survivors” of Calvin College English department collected this list of
mixed metaphors and posted them on their web site:
“He swept the rug under the carpet.”
“She’s burning the midnight oil at both ends.”
“It was so cold last night I had to throw another blanket on the fire.”
“It’s time to step up to the plate and cut the mustard.”
“She’s robbing Peter to pay the piper.”
“He’s up a tree without a paddle.”
“Beware my friend…you are skating on hot water.”
“Keep your ear to the grindstone.”
“Sometimes you’ve gotta stick your neck out on a limb.”
“Some people sail through life on a bed of roses like a knife slicing through butter.”
