I don’t produce lists of “funny” things because what tickles me may not so the same for anyone else, in addition there’s far too many “LOL” bits of chaff on the internet. But here’s an exception, from Philip Humbert’s most recent ezine it ticks the boxes for inclusion.

Some of Life’s BEST Lessons
There have been many versions of this list over the years, and some emails have credited Andy Rooney as the original author. This version was sent by Paul Vogt and once again, it made me chuckle.
1. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”
2. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”
3. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
4. And when God, who created the entire universe with all of its glories, decides to deliver a message to humanity, He will NOT use as His messenger a person on cable TV with a bad haircut.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.
7. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
8. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. If anybody cares how you dance, feel sorry for them. They need to get a life and learn how to have fun.
9. The most powerful force in the universe is gossip.
10. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe we are above-average drivers.
13. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.
14. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
15. Don’t think that because a person is having fun they are drinking to excess. Some people have fun naturally, and you need to find out how they do it.
16. Never fry anything when you are naked.
17. And always remember, real friends will love you anyway.
