A Little Fun for the Holiday
1. A day without sunshine is like night.
2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
3. Forty-seven percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
4. Ninety-nine percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
9. Support bacteria. They’re the only culture most people have.
10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
13. How many of you believe in psycho-kinesis? Raise my hand.
14. Okay, so what’s the speed of dark?
15. When everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
18. Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.
19. What happens if you get scared half to death – twice?
20. Why do psychics have to ask you your name?
21. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, What the heck happened?
22. Just remember — if the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off.
23. Light travels faster than sound. That’s why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
24. Life isn’t like a box of chocolates. It’s more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today might burn your butt tomorrow.

>ROTFL! I laughed so hard I cried multiple times. A GREAT list. Thanks.
>Way
too
funny.
Everyone's asleep and I nearly hurt myself stifling my laughter so I don't wake them up.
I emailed the list to my kids. We'll read it together tomorrow and I'll laugh all over again.
Thanks, Rachelle! I'm thankful for you. More than you'll ever know.
>I love Anne's suggestion, shame it's not Thanksgiving in Canada I would try that.
>#22 made me laugh out loud. Thanks. 🙂
>These are great. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to shamelessly steal them!
Here's one I like:
There are two types of people in the world: those who finish what they start
>There are 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
🙂
>Here's an idea: print these out and put them on an index card. When conversation gets contentious at the Thanksgiving dinner table, throw a couple of these out there. Laughter is the best peacemaker.
Thanks for these. They're hilarious.
>I love this list!!!
>Great lines Rachelle. Hope I don't burn my butt today. Happy Thanksgiving!
>Here's one from Bill Cosby: "Parents don't care about justice. They just want quiet."
>Thanks for the laugh. I'll be tweeting some of those.
>Thirteen and twenty-two are my favorites. 😀
Here's another one that I love…
The early bird gets the worm, but the second worm gets to live.
>Funny. Amen to 21. And I always try to infuse a little anger into my depression. I find it takes the edge off. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! Remember, it's a calorie free day!!
>OK, with the crazy-mad-dash cleaning and planning medley I finished today, I really needed this.
>very jack handy-ish!
>Haahaaa! Hilarious!
>This one is especially relevant to writers: A word is worth one one-thousandth of a picture.
>I loved the psycho-kenetic "raise my hand," line. I'm totally using that on my family tomorrow.
>7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
That one struck a chord. And the one about sponges was hilarious 😉
Thanks for posting these!
>Nice 🙂 A good laugh on a beautiful day.
>#6…I wonder what it means when I laugh first and no one else is?
All very funny.
>Here's a writerly one I use for my email signature:
Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.
—Laurence J. Peter
>Great to start the morning with!
>You've given me enough one-liners to carry me into 2011. Thanks.
Happy Thanksgiving.
>:D 😀 😀
