20 Quips On Life

Here is a list 20 things that on the surface have quite a bit of wisdom, but are just plain funny as well. Some are priceless, and all are pretty humorous. As we all need a little humor every day, I hope these quips turn up the corners of your mouth. All the best and Excelsior everyone!

1. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. 


2. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
 

3. I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.
 

4. Sex is not the answer. Sex is the question. "Yes" is the answer.
 

5. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.
 

6. We live in a society where pizza gets to your house before the police.
 

7. Women might be able to fake orgasms. But men can fake a whole relationship.
 

8. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
 

9. If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
 

10. Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich. 

11. Going to church (temple, mosque) doesn't make you a Christian (or Jew, Muslim, etc.) any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
 

12. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public (ok, maybe some of us).
 

13. War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
 

14. Having sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand.
 

15.Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
 

16.Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.
 

17. Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up.
 

18. My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch.
 

19. The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
 

20. The Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

The Moldy Middle

While taking statistics during my quest to get an MBA and while earning my engineering degree, the professors always emphasized the importance of finding the statistical mean of any population by using the Central Mean Theorem (a.k.a the highest point of the Bell Curve). As an engineer, this was essential in order to maximize throughput, minimize cost and waste, and ultimately make a better, faster, cheaper widget. A funny thing happened on the way to the dark side of marketing. I discovered that the only thing in the middle of the road was quite literally dead road kill. I do not know if you remember stores like Bradlees, Ames and Service Merchandise (just to name a few), but they all folded because the environment changed and they were caught trying to service the mythological “average customer.” Part of that change came when Wal-Mart began its juggernaut with the discount department store. Wal-Mart did two things right: 1) Focused on “mobile” consumers, and 2) Fo...

Fortune Cookie of Persistence

There are many things or factors that can determine a person’s success or failure, but one thing that cuts across EVERY successful person I have met or read about or studied is perseverance, persistence, stick-to-itiveness, and determination. As I say, "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. The desire and ability to press on has and always will solve the problems of the human race and divide those who achieve from those who might have been." Incredibly, this ONE characteristic is really what makes a true entrepreneur as testimony to these little factoids: Coca-Cola only sold twenty five (25) bottles in its first year of business! They grossed $50.0 and spent $73.96 on merchandising. But they kept on going and never gave up, and nowadays the sell more than one billion bottles per day! Apple Computer co-founder offered the computer design to Hewlett-Packard five times and was rejected by both HP and Atari (the giant at the time) for acquisition. A...

Chance and the Cosmos

What if we are alone?  With the recent breathtaking Venus in Transit pictures happening yesterday, I was amazed at the size and scope of this cosmic happening. What struck me was how everyone was talking about how rare an event this was, and it got me thinking about space, and probabilities, and are we alone? I remember as a kid hearing Carl Sagan talk about the billion upon billion of stars in the universe and the probability that somewhere out there, there has to be life around one of those other stars. According to the European Space Agency’s scientists, there are 1 times 10 to the 12 (a 1 with 12 zeros trailing) stars in our galaxy, and perhaps 1 times 10 to the 11 or 12 galaxies in the universe.  That means there are 1 times 10 to the 23 or 24 (1 with 24 zeros trailing) stars in our universe. That is a vast amount of places that could have a planet like ours.  But now we have to think small, like in chance and probabilities, and this got me postulating. Ea...
