Sharpening a pencil with a knife makes you feel really manly.

Thanks for all the replies, and pretty much all of them were witty, and contained some truth, but all are stock replies you can find anywhere online. I was looking more for actual observations on life's oddities and absurdities.

Have you ever noticed that airline captains, no matter what accent or language, all try to sound like Chuck Yeager?

Well, that was sort of the point in my own reply. I have personally never said nor thought anything that I would have considered wise, just as I believe that I have never had an original thought in my life. Somewhere, sometime and somehow in course of human history, there was at least one person who had thought or said every thought or statement that I have said. As such, I've never considered myself qualified to dispense advice or insight.

And that was a great observation, Tak! Just what I was hoping for.

As I said, your original post, and most of the others, were great, and I honor them. I was just looking for something else. I guess I'm unique in my own brand of insanity.

Most people are decent, some people are not. The problem is that it is often impossible to tell them apart. Sometimes you gotta play the odds.

The main proof of my superior inteligence is the fact that I am still alive, despite me being an idiot.

I guess you're seeking ironic comparisons...not googled wit?

They don't need to be ironic, just honest, and preferably personal.

When my older daughter turned 21, I called my dad and told him that for the first time in my life I was really starting to feel old.

He said "Let me tell you a little secret. People in their seventies really don't appreciate hearing 'children' in their fifties whining about feeling old!"

You are only as old as you feel.
Boring, but when a Woman makes love to you like she was half her age, there must be aome truth to it - my hip hurts!
