At a Singapore book fair, P.G. Publishing's best-seller was 101 Questions and Answers About Pregnacy and Childbirth. This was entirely natural considering their best-seller the previous year had been 101 Questions and Answers About Sex. 

People usually said that children don't know the value of money. This is not true. Children don't know the value of YOUR money, but for THEIR money they know the value of. 

 
It's an age of paradox when we have mobile homes that don't move, sports clothes for work, junk food that cost more than the real food, and sweatshirts to loaf in.  The caracters Bert and Ernie on "Sesame Street" were named after Bert the cop and Ernie the taxi driver in Frank Capra's film It's a Wonderful Life.  Some people think life begins at conception, while others think life begins at birth. But some believe that life begins when the kid moves out and the dog he left behind dies. 
When a man goes to his closet and says, "I don't have anything to wear," what he really means is "I don't have anything clean to wear."  The only good thing about being imperfect is the joy it brings to others.  When a woman goes to her closet and says, "I don't have anything to wear," she really means, 
"I don't have anything new to wear." 
Nothing makes you feel older than the discovery that your children are studying in history class what you studied in current events.  A  clean basement means a cluttered garage.  You spend 18  months trying to get your children to stand up and talk, and the next 18 years to get them to sit down and listen! 
A cocktail party is an affair where a mans gets stiff, a woman gets tight, and they return home to find that neither is either.  The length of a minute depends on which side of a bathroom door you're standing on.  A neighbour will stand at your door talking for 20 minutes because she doesn't have time to come in. 
No one can make you feel more humble than the repairman who discovers you've been trying to fix it yourself.  Job security does not exist!  The real head of a household is the one who has custody of the remote control. 
For a good neighbour, it's hard to beat one who doesn't turn his snowblower around at the property line.  No matter how many TV channels you switch to, you always get a commercial.  The way some houses are built, the only thing that'll last 30 years is the mortgage. 
Some people are so determined to find blissful happiness that they overlook a lifetime of 
contentment. 
When someone ask if you have a minute, he or she is really asking for 20.  A parking meter is the only place where you literally can buy time. 
A true music lover is a man who puts his ear to the key hole to listen to a beautiful woman 
singing in the tub. 
A wine boutique is set up for visitors to buy the wines they've been spitting out for drinking later.  The person who spends all of his or her time at work is not hardworking; he or she is boring. 
Polititics is a lot like religion. Except in politics, it's your opponent who confesses your sins.  Long hours don't mean anything; results count, not effort.  Career planning is an oxymoron. The most exciting opportunities tend to be unplanned. 
Our real world dictionary defines a pessimist as an optimist with experience.  Write ideas down; they get lost like good pens.  The size of your office is not as important as the size of your paycheque! 
The best thing about not saying anything is that it can't be repeated.  Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older. Assume no one can/will keep a secret.
