Idle Thoughts



I planted some bird seed.
A bird came up.
Now I don't know what to feed it

********************
I had amnesia once
---or twice

********************
The easiest way to find something 
lost around the house 
is to buy a replacement.
********************
Life is sexually transmitted.

********************
     I went to  San Francisco. 
I found someone's heart. 
Now what?

********************
Protons have mass? 
I didn't even know 
they were Catholic.

********************
All I ask 
is a chance to prove that money 
can't make me happy.

********************  
How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a  
whole  box to start a campfire?

********************
Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

********************  
 If the world were a logical place, 
men would be the ones 
who ride  horses sidesaddle.

********************  
What is a "free" gift? 
Aren't all gifts free?

********************
They told me I was gullible 
and I believed them.

********************
Teach a child to be polite and courteous 
in the home and, when he grows up,
he'll never be able to merge 
his car onto the freeway.

********************  
Experience is the thing you have left 
when everything else is gone.

********************
My weight is perfect for my height
--which varies.

********************
I used to be indecisive. 
Now I'm not sure.
********************
All of us could take a lesson 
from the weather. 
It pays no attention  
 to  criticism.

********************
How can there be 
self-help "groups"?

********************     
If swimming is so good for your figure, 
how do you explain whales?

********************
Show me a man with both feet firmly on the ground, 
and I'll show you  a  man who can't get his pants off

******************* 
Is it me --
or do buffalo wings 
taste like chicken?
