"Never squat with your spurs on" and other wisdom from Will Rogers
Jun 3, 2019 14:15:11 #
Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash in Alaska with bush pilot
Wiley Post, was one of the Greatest political country/cowboy sages
this country has ever known. Some of his sayings:
1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it
back into your pocket.
8. There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from
bad judgment.
10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now
and then to make sure it's still there.
11. Lettin' the cat outta' the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.
12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he
started roaring. He kept it up until a h****r came along and shot him.
- The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
ABOUT GROWING OLDER...
First
~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your
age and start bragging about it.
Second
~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
Third
~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people
to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of
the roads weren't paved.
Fourth
~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think
of Algebra.
Fifth
~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Sixth
~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh
~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it's
such a nice change from being young.
Eighth
~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth
~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable and relaxed.
Tenth
~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was
called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.
And, finally
~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to
laugh at when you're old.
