1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

7. Never lick a steak knife.

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

14. Your friends love you anyway.

15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

FINAL Thought for the day:

16 Men are like a fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.
 
Also never fart just before sitting down in the john.....guess what will staring you in the face?
 
Hey, Thanks for your words of wisdom.. I don't want to know how you know about the laxative/sleeping pill thing though, I'll take your word for it.

I read this as "diver" the first time - it works that way too!

Is there a landlubber version of the position?
 
I'm not sure that I want to know about a position.
 
funny stuff, mark
 
17: The ONLY proper answer to "do these pants make my butt look big"?
is
NO.
 
A buddy of mine has a halarious story about a dive trip to Cooper River, SC where he made the mistake of eating Curry the night before the dive trip.

He had a near miss experience during his emergency manuever, hanging over the side of the Pontoon-type Dive Boat with his wetsuit yanked down around his thighs (it has an attached hood!)

two lessons learned:

1. NEVER eat Curry when you will be far away from your OWN bathroom!
2. Be very careful where you tuck your Hood!
(Gives new meaning to term $hitHe@D! )
