Just Trivia
Ramblings of the Retired Mind
( This is a collection of trivia that pops up on the internet that I save to read frequently- not my sayings, but I like them. Be sure to scroll the whole page. It's big and entertaining. Stop by often-always adding.)

Look up for inspiration, look down for concentration, and at me for conversation.

 

I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped on.  I can't afford one.  So, I'm wearing my garage door opener.



You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway.




I was thinking about old age and decided that it is 'when you still have something on the ball, but you are just too tired to bounce it'.



I thought about making a fitness movie, for folks my age, and call it "Pumping Rust."



I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease.  That's when your chest is falling into your drawers!



I know, when people see a cat's litter box, they always say, "Oh, have you got a cat?" 

Just once I want to say, "No, it's for company!"



Employment application blanks always ask 'who is to be notified in case of an emergency.'  I think you should write, "A Good Doctor!"



Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office?  What are we supposed to do -- write to these men?  Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen could look for them while they deliver the mail? Or better yet, arrest them while they are taking their pictures!




I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older.  Then, it dawned on me, they were cramming for their finals.  As for me, I'm just hoping God grades on the curve.

**************

Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold -- but so does a hard-boiled egg.

We are told never to cross a bridge until we come to it, but this world is owned by men who have 'crossed bridges' in their imagination far ahead of the crowd.

To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism, to steal ideas from many is research.

For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible.

Debugging is anticipated with distaste, performed with reluctance, and bragged about forever.

Sow a thought and you reap an action;
sow an act and you reap a habit;
sow a habit and you reap a character;
sow a character and you reap a destiny.
