Way Deep Thoughts

Honorable Mentions
It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the president's
birthday, like they do for the queen. Of course, then we would have a
lot of people voting for a candidate born on July 3 or December 26,
just for the long weekends. 

Home is where the house is. 

As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set aside a
few minutes each day. At the end of the year, you'll have a couple of
days saved up. 

It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into an
accident. No, wait. That would be good because if anyone needed it,
the blood would be right there. 

Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to accept
the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money. 

The people who think Tiny Tim is strange are the same ones who think
it odd that I drive without pants. 

I bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween. 

The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except
maybe "Don't you think it is about time you audited my return?" or
"Isn't is morally wrong to give me a warning when, in fact, I was
speeding?" 

When I go to heaven, I want to see my grandpa again. But he better
have lost the nose hair and the old-man smell. 

Whenever I start getting sad about where I am in my life, I think
about the last words of my favorite uncle: "A truck!" 

If you really want to impress people with your computer literacy,
add the words "dot com" to the end of everything you say, dot com. 

I like to go down to the dog pound and pretend that I've found my
dog. Then I tell them to kill it anyway because I already gave away
all of his stuff. Dog people sure don't have a sense of humor. 


THIRD RUNNER UP
I don't know about you, but I enjoy watching paint dry. I imagine
that the wet paint is a big freshwater lake that is the only source of
water for some tiny cities by the lake. As the lake gets drier, the
population gets more desperate, and sometimes there are water riots.
Once there was a big fire and everyone died. 

SECOND RUNNER UP
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him gargle. 
FIRST RUNNER UP
I gaze at the brilliant full moon. The same one, I think to myself,
at which Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato gazed. Suddenly, I imagine
they appear beside me. I tell Socrates about the national debate over
one's right to die and wonder at the constancy of the human condition.
I tell Plato that I live in the country that has come the closest to
Utopia, and I show him a copy of the Constitution. I tell Aristotle
that we have found many more than four basic elements and I show him a
periodic table. I get a box of kitchen matches and strike one. They
gasp with wonder. We spend the rest of the night lighting farts. 
WINNER
If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize
world peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it would be,
until the looting started.
