Some of My Simple Truths


Poem Artwork

Nothing runs downhill faster than blame.

 

Headaches come in many forms and aspirin won’t help half of them

 

A good night’s sleep is inversely proportional to its need

 

If your wife is mad at you it’s probably not the first time.  If it is the first time you are obviously not in possession of the scorecard

 

If it stands to reason it probably needs a dose of preparation “H”

 

The minute you get your flu shot a new strain of virus will be announced

 

Somewhere in the great scheme of things lies an indictment

 

A flashlight will work perfectly until you need it

 

It’s better to be over the hill than under the turf

 

Relying on spell check is like relying on a condom. The odds are in your favor but there are no guarantees

 

Life is like sunscreen.  The higher the SPF the less you will experience

 

If you saw it on TV you are probably watching too much TV

 

If man were meant to fly there wouldn’t be a TSA

 

It’s always darkest before you turn the light on

 

A penny saved is a penny earned but a dollar saved means you had a good coupon

 

There is no such thing as too easy

 

 If the truth hurts then Congress is feeling no pain

It is very difficult to write sufficiently and be funny at the same time. But you have done it.

You are a genius when it comes to these. I especially enjoy references to Preparation H and Carter's Little Liver Pills. Have you ever had tired blood?

If your medicine makes you feel good it is probably just the alcohol.
