Hey Ark, ''bless you'' comes to mind. God definitely has a sense of humour, just look at the state of the world today. With due defference to the religious guys and gals.

The state of the world today is not God's doing, but man. That in no way points away from a divine sense of humor. Rather than the state of the world, look at the duck-billed platypus.

I realize this is an old thread but I had to comment. My grandpa once told me that " If we all liked the same thing, everyone would want to sleep with your grandma." I thought it was great.

Re: Quote of the week thread.
That is a good one Selso.
My momma had all sorts of crazy sayings I never understood. If she was angry, she's say she was 'angry enough to spit cotton.' I don't know about that. If there were cotton in my mouth, I'd try and spit it out regardless of my mood. If someone was surprised she would say, "he about..." Um, you know what. I'll hit the pause control on that one. And while my mother was absolutely faithful to my father, up until marriage she had rather different advice for us children. "Dance with one while looking over his (or her, depending on the child) shoulder at the next." Then again, when I did go to a dance her advice to me was "Leave with the one who brung you." Which is weird because I was the one doing the bringing. And she didn't even like that girl. Sometimes her advice was hard to follow. For instance, one time I went to help my uncle move. She didn't want me sitting around slacking off and so she told me "Keep your elbows clean." Well, I thought she meant to keep my elbows clean. So on the way from Connecticut to Pennsylvania, after a lunch stop my uncle found me in the men's room washing my elbows because that's what momma told me to do. He about... I'll hit the pause button again.
Now my grandfather. He had advice that contradicted itself. His two most given pieces of advice, aside from "walk it off" were:
1. If it won't go, don't force it.
2. If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer.
I never did figure out when to use which piece of advice.
