Comedian Steven Wright

"Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time."

"I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place."

"If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer?"

"There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot."

Thought For The Day

I can't believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary.

What If

Last night, while I lay thinking here,
some Whatifs crawled inside my ear
and pranced and partied all night long
and sang their same old Whatif song:
Whatif I'm dumb in school?
Whatif they've closed the swimming pool?
Whatif I get beat up?
Whatif there's poison in my cup?
Whatif I start to cry?
Whatif I get sick and die?
Whatif I flunk that test?
Whatif green hair grows on my chest?
Whatif nobody likes me?
Whatif a bolt of lightning strikes me?
Whatif I don't grow taller?
Whatif my head starts getting smaller?
Whatif the fish won't bite?
Whatif the wind tears up my kite?
Whatif they start a war?
Whatif my parents get divorced?
Whatif the bus is late?
Whatif my teeth don't grow in straight?
Whatif I tear my pants?
Whatif I never learn to dance?
Everything seems well and then
The nightime Whatifs strike again.

Thought For The Day

The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself.

More George Sheehan

Each one of us is an experiment of one. Each is a unique, never-to-be-repeated event. Our talents vary. Our defeats are our own. Our environments offer special challanges. We evolve from a constant interaction between instinct and will, between emotions and reason, between environment and good fortune. Life, like it or not, is a handicap event, and the winner may finish deep in the pack.

Thought For The Day

The fastest way to succeed is to look as if you're playing by somebody else's rules, while quietly playing by your own.

Poem For The Day

Listen to the mustn'ts child,
Listen to the don'ts.
Listen to the shouldn't haves, the impossibles, the won'ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen child,
Anything can be.
