Food for Thought
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me,
for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much
leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a
leaky tire.
3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Sex is like air. It's not important unless you aren't getting any.
5. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be
promoted.
6. No one is listening until you fart.
7. Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.
8. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
9. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of loan
payments.
10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in his or her
shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have
their shoes.
11. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish,
and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
13. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it.
14. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
15. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windshield.
16. Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.
17. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from
bad judgment.
18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it
back in your pocket.
19. A closed mouth gathers no foot.
20. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and
it holds the universe together.
21. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
22. Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are
moving.
23. Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
24. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
25. We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our arse.......
then things get worse.
26. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative
on the same night.
27. There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
28. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too
seriously.
29. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make
a big deal about your birthday...around age 11.
30. Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

“The Cop”
His job has always been to protect and serve.
The pay is far less then he deserves.
He patrols the streets eight hours a day.
His back-up is still ten minutes away.
He’s the nicest man that you’ve ever met.
Some people thank him, but many forget.
“Why does he do this?” Many will ask.
No silver bullets. He wears no mask.
Decent pay and a little respect.
Is it too much for him to expect?
Some nights he worries and is unable to sleep.
With layoffs and lawsuits, seven days a week.
But he keeps on fighting the war on the streets.
Answering calls and patrolling his beat.
Considered lucky, because he’s still alive.
Collecting a pension at age fifty-five.
To those who have fallen, doing their job
At domestic disputes or stores being robbed...
I ask your family and all of your friends.
“How can we stop the violence... WHEN WILL IT END?”
