When seconds count...know the police are minutes away.

Today those minutes are growing quickly. Be prepared to deliver justice yourself.

"It's showtime!"

Bob Fosse in All That Jazz -- early 1970s.

I do not use it to try to cover an alcohol driven, chain smoking, coke shorting life. For me it is clear code for "time to get ready and perform."

"We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union". What does that mean? You can't make something "more perfect". It's either perfect or it isn't. As I recall, there have been 27 amendments.

Another one is "to be perfectly honest with you"..... You're either honest or you're not.

How about "I'm out there every day giving 110 percent"? Is this the new math?

[Cusser]

Some of these are attributed to Yogi Berra


"Sometimes a deal ain't such a deal"

It ain’t over until it’s over

There are degrees of degrees

I never said most of the things I said

You can sometimes win by losing

If it ain’t broke, it will be

Most of us don't have much left brain left, and right brains that aren't right.

If it’s got tits or tires, its gonna be trouble

Thought I was the only one who thought that !!!

"Nothing shows poor workmanship like wrinkles in the duct tape."

I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually that reason is that someone screwed up.

"If you don't have a problem, you don't have a problem"

It’s the little things that are big !!!

"If you guess, you're just guessing !!!"

“My cat’s very nocturnal at night”

Everything works until it breaks

"it will get better, or it won't"

“when one wiper is on the wrong side, then the other usually is also”

“it’s the little things that are big”

The best place to start is at the beginning

"computers aren't as smart as we think they are"

If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he will sit in the boat and drink beer all day

Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

I wouldn't be concerned over things that are of no concern.

"I didn't hear about the silent auction !!!

When doing a computer search of cutesy trade names, be sure to misspell the word incorrectly !!!!

1.Nothing is as easy as it looks.
2.Everything takes longer than you think.
3.Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
4.If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
5.You never run out of things that can go wrong.
6.If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
7.If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
8.If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
9.It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
10.Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
11.Every solution breeds new problems






We need some new words in English.

Like a new term for "adult children"

Like a new term for "live at home". Which brings to mind: I live at home, home is wherever I live. And if a homeless person's "adult children" live with him/her, do they "live at home" ?

When a ball comes flying into the stands, why do people yell "heads up" instead of "heads down" ?

Career criminal

Criminal mastermind

Friendly fire

I’m more confused than a homeless person on house arrest !!!
