Default Humourous quotes

I believe in making the world safe for our children,
but not our children's children,
because I don't think children should be having sex
--Jack Handey

Does anyone else know any Personal Development related humourous quotes?

Default Money on trees

If money doesn't grow on trees, why do banks have branches? I wonder.

My personal motto:
Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
-Mark Twain


For the Zen among us, a koan:

A monk sat in the forest with his three students. He took out his fan and placed it in front of him, saying, "Without calling it a fan, tell me what this is."

The first said, "You couldn't call it a slop-bucket." The master poked him with his stick.

The second and third students were actually rocks that the master had mistaken for students, because it was getting very dark. Suddenly, the master and his pupil felt alone and afraid.

In the distance, a wolf howled.

I'm not sure where this came from...

Jack Handey has an almost identical one:

"Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, you'll be a mile from them, and you'll have their shoes."

He's got quite a few...

"I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it."

"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it. "

"I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out
that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years,
because I was thinking about doing that anyway. "

"Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word itself.
MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and "ind."
What do these words mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is mankind. "

And I'll leave it for now with one for the subjective realists out there

"It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money.
And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy.
Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money. "

I had to run the fortune command a few times before I found a good one:

all James Bond books have: An evil person tries to blow up the world, but
James Bond kills him and his henchmen and makes love to several attractive
women. There, that's it: 24 words. But the guy who wrote the book took
*thousands* of words to say it.
Or consider "The Brothers Karamazov", by the famous Russian alcoholic
Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It's about these two brothers who kill their father.
Or maybe only one of them kills the father. It's impossible to tell because
what they mostly do is talk for nearly a thousand pages. If all Russians talk
as much as the Karamazovs did, I don't see how they found time to become a
major world power.
I'm told that Dostoyevsky wrote "The Brothers Karamazov" to raise
the question of whether there is a God. So why didn't he just come right
out and say: "Is there a God? It sure beats the heck out of me."
Other famous works could easily have been summarized in a few words:

* "Moby Dick" -- Don't mess around with large whales because they symbolize
nature and will kill you.
* "A Tale of Two Cities" -- French people are crazy.

I remember asking my dad the same question when I was young, after he told me money doesn't grow on trees!

Now I know different. It does grow on trees, you just have to nurture that tree from a seed until it grows strong enough to pay the dividends. Metaphorically speaking.

I'm still not sure my dad gets this though.
