Pearls of Wisdom

Found this on the net and it made me laugh and think about my life. I think you'll like it too.

"Fourteen Things That It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn"

by Dave Barry

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. 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."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. 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.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

12. 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.

13. 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.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

I lick my steak knife too. Not with the sharp end facing me though. My friend Rob's steak knives are the best.

This was great, I've shared it with some friends already! I especially love # 1 and #6.

Excellent! I think 4, 5, and 8 are important ones. While I love this list, in fairness to Dave Berry, he didn't really write 1 or 7. It was added later by email "forwarders." Here's some info on the real list: <url removed>
