work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now. Eagles may soar,
but weasels aren't sucked into jet engines. Borrow money from

definitely isn't for you! Everyone has a photographic memory. Some

smurf, what color does it turn? Who is General Failure and why is he
reading my hard disk? What happens if you get scared half to death
twice? Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery. I used to
have an open mind but my brains kept falling out. I couldn't repair
your brakes, so I made your horn louder. Shin: a device for finding
furniture in the dark. How do you tell when you run out of invisible
ink? Laughing stock: cattle with a sense of humor. Why do psychics
have to ask you for your name? Wear short sleeves! Support your
right to bare arms! For Sale: Parachute. Only used once, never
