"Quotes" worth quoting

God helps those who help themselves.

With sincere apologies to [I]Time[/I] magazine for shamelessly stealing quotes from their “Verbatim” column in the Feb 14 issue —

“There were points in my life where I felt oddly irresistible to women.
I’m not in that state now.”

Jack Nicholson, actor, 73, expressing sadness about his age.


“It’s a legal product. I choose to smoke. Leave me alone.”

John Boehner, Speaker of the House, after being asked about his cigarette habit.

That’s funny :D…originally I had my signature quoting a Carrie Newcomer song phrase…

[B][I]It’s not always getting what you want, but wanting what you get [/I][/B]

…then I changed it slightly not realizing is was a Dale Carnegie phrase…lol…I’m flattered :slight_smile:

I want it all — I want it all — I want it all, AND I WANT IT NOW!

“Here are no dumb questions. Sometimes there are dumb answers, so watch out — but, no dumb questions.”

Clint.

[B]The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they’re going to have some pretty annoying virtues.[/B]

  • Elizabeth Taylor

““If we were faultless we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate.”

Francois Fenelon

I like that quote.


“A woman can fake an orgasm.
A man can fake an entire relationship.”

Sharon Stone

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from [B]BOYFRIEND 5.0[/B] to [B]HUSBAND 1.0[/B] and I noticed a distinct slowdown in the overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jeweler applications, which operated flawlessly under [B]BOYFRIEND 5.0[/B].

In addition, [B]HUSBAND 1.0[/B] uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as [B]ROMANCE 9.5[/B] and [B]PERSONAL ATTENTION 6.5[/B], and then installed undesirable programs such as [B]NEWS 5.0[/B], [B]MONEY 3.0[/B] and [B]CRICKET 4.1[/B].

[B]CONVERSATION 8.0[/B] no longer runs, and [B]HOUSE CLEANING 2.6[/B] simply crashes the system.

Please note that I have tried running [B]NAGGING 5.3[/B] to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

DEAR Madam,

First, keep in mind, [B]BOYFRIEND 5.0[/B] is an Entertainment Package, while [B]HUSBAND 1.0[/B] is an operating system.

Please enter command: [U][B]ithoughtyoulovedme.html[/B][/U] and try to download [B]TEARS 6.2[/B] and do not forget to install the [B]GUILT 3.0[/B] update.

If that application works as designed, HUSBAND 1.0 should then automatically run the applications [B]JEWELLERY 2.0[/B] and [B]FLOWERS 3.5[/B].

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause [B]HUSBAND 1.0[/B] to default to [B]SILENCE 2.5[/B] or [B]BEER 6.1[/B].

Please note that [B]BEER 6.1[/B] is a very bad program that will download the [B]SNORING LOUDLY Beta[/B].

Whatever you do, [B]DO NOT[/B] under any circumstances install [B]MOTHER-IN-LAW 1.0[/B] (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please [B]do not[/B] attempt to reinstall the [B]BOYFRIEND 6.0[/B] program. These are unsupported applications and will crash [B]HUSBAND 1.0[/B].

In summary, [B]HUSBAND 1.0[/B] is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.
We recommend: [B]COOKING 3.0[/B] and [B]HOT LOOKS 7.7[/B].

Good Luck Madam!

Good one, Sweet Pip !

Yeah!!! I am an honorable man!! That last post was hilarious. :slight_smile:
