Word Play or How To Have a Way With Words


This week as been a treasure of pictures and words. Bev offered me this gift and I offer it to you! I hope it makes you smile as it did me!


APHORISM: A SHORT, POINTED SENTENCE EXPRESSING A WISE OR CLEVER OBSERVATION OR A GENERAL TRUTH.

1. The nicest thing about the future is that it
always starts tomorrow.

2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness
will make him wag his tail.

3. If you don't have a sense of humor, you
probably don't have any sense at all.

4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.

5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is
when you're in deep water.

6. How come it takes so little time for a child who
is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who
wants to stay out all night?

7. Business conventions are important because
they demonstrate how many people a company
can operate without.

8. Why is it that at class reunions you feel
younger than everyone else looks?

9. Scratch a cat and you will have a
permanent job.

10. No one has more driving ambition than
the boy who wants to buy a car.

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

12. There are worse things than getting
a call for a wrong number at 4 AM.
Like this: It could be a right number.

13. No one ever says 'It's only a game' when
their team is winning..

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

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

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

17. Do you realize that in about 40 years, there
will be thousands of old ladies running
around with tattoos? (And rap music
will be the Golden Oldies!)

18. Money can't buy happiness ---
but somehow it's more comfortable
to cry in a Corvette than in a Yugo.

19. After 60, if you don't wake up aching
in every joint, you are probably dead!

20. Always be yourself. Because the people
that matter, don't mind. And the one's
that mind, don't matter.

Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!

  1. Love the word aphorisms as well as the aphorisms themselves...a clever 'lesson' or thought within one sentence!

    We should probably post these around our homes.

    blessings and hugs,

  8. These are so funny. I like #17 most because I've thought about that every since Cher said she removed the tatoos on her rear because she couldn't get the vision of being in a nursing home with those showing through her gown!
