More aphorisms

There are no new sins, the old ones just get more publicity.

There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM...for example, it could be the right number.

No one ever says "It's only a game," when their team ins winning.

I've reached the age where 'happy hour' is a nap.

Be careful about reading the fine print...there's no way you're going to like it.

The trouble with bucket seats is that not everyone has the same size bucket.

Do you realize that, in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Rolls Royce than in a Volkswagen.

After 60, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you're probably dead. (With apologies to those who are and don't)

Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind and the ones than mind don't matter.

Reading the fine print is a problem!! They make it too fine!!
I was at Home Depot the other day for a chainsaw blade, chain, wh**ever. I couldn't read the fine print on the package to see if it worked on my saw!
Thankfully, an employee helped me by going to the service desk and getting a magnifying glass, cause she couldn't read it either!!

Yep. Either lawyers have amazing eyesight, or they're using some sort of high powered magnifying device when they write that crap. I've always been suspicious, when important stuff is intentionally written so small. I can't help but feel that they are trying to hide something. "in plain sight" is relative.

P.S. I've discovered that being myself garners more attention than trying to be somebody else does. That attention is often from the Police, store detectives and so forth - but it's still attention. ;)

Most pay little attention to me, including my Sgt. Major. :oops:

I bought a camera from Amazon and got a so called "extended warranty" to cover problems for three years if needed. It was supposed to include phone numbers etc, but when downloaded was too small to read, so I ordered the printed version, which was completely devoid of necessary information. I got a credit of course and sent some nasty comments. Small print, BAD NEWS!
