RULES OF ORDER


1 - I can only please one person per day. Today is
not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.

2 - I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing
sound they make as they go flying by.

3 - Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get
along without it.

4 - Accept that some days you are the pigeon and
some days the statue.

5 - Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If
they aren't there the first time, chances are you
won't be needing them again.

6 - I don't have an attitude problem, you have a
perception problem.

7 - Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in
the sky, and I thought to myself, where the heck
is the ceiling?

8 - My reality check bounced.

9 - On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger
on the escape key.

10 - I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier.

11 - You are slower than a herd of turtles stampeding
through peanut butter.

12 - Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, because
you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

13 - Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.

14 - Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down
to their level, then beat you with experience.

15 - A pat on the back is only a few centimeters
from a kick in the butt.

16 - Don't be irreplaceable -- if you can't be replaced,
you can't be promoted.

17 - After any salary raise, you will have less money
at the end of the month than you did before.

18 - The more crap you put up with, the more crap
you are going to get.

19 - You can go anywhere you want if you look
serious and carry a clipboard.

20 - Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and
nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.

21 - People who go to conferences are the ones
who shouldn't.

22 - If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would
get done.

23 - When you don't know what to do, walk fast
and look worried.

24 - Following the rules will not get the job done.



A man and woman were having marriage problems, and decided to end
their union after a very short time together. After a most brief
attempt to reconcile, the couple went to court to finalize their
break-up. The judge asked the husband, "What has brought you to this
point, where you are not able to keep this marriage together?"

The husband said, "In the six weeks we've been together, we haven't
been able to agree on one thing."

The wife said, "Seven weeks."

A man and his wife were making their first doctor visit prior to the birth of their first child. After everything checked out, the doctor took a small stamp and stamped the wife's stomach with indelible ink.

The couple was curious about what the stamp was for so when they got home, he dug out his magnifying glass to try to see what it was. In very tiny letters the stamp said, "When you can read this, come back and see me."
