The following one line comments have nothing to do with the mental superiority of eGrumps. He is what he is (which isn’t much) and who can deny his intellectual brilliance, except Mrs. eGrumps and those of you who may be  jealous of his talent.

eGrumps brain is like a politicians speech – mostly empty.

eGrumps brain is a fugitive from a brain gang.

eGrumps is really brighter than he looks, but then he would have to be.

eGrumps was born stupid, and lately he has had a relapse.

If eGrumps said what he thought he’d be speechless.

What eGrumps lacks in intelligence, he makes up in stupidity.

ALERT:

The foregoing comments were all written by Mrs. eGrumps, who knows her husband, eGrumps better that anyone.  eGrumps strongly disagrees with her comments because she is a complete idiot, or else she would not have married eGrumps in the first place. To show you the level of her stupidity, she thought eGrumps had money when she married him. Hah – little did she know how little it was. She’s still waiting for him to make money off of his free websites. (see also http://egrumps.com)

A few comments about Age:

1. A woman’s age is like the speedometer of a used car for sale – it has been set back, but you don’t know how far.

2. A man’s age demands respect. A woman’s age demands tact.

3. Geriatrics is the science that helps you to live longer without growing older.

4. A man is getting old when the gleam in his eye is merely the reflection off of his sunglasses.

5. Another sign of growing older is that you spend more time talking with your druggist than with your bartender.

6. Man knows his age. Women calculate theirs.

7. “I find age a very distasteful subject!! And I’m not kidding – really and truly. But who is is counting my age? Not me, well, maybe once in a while. That’s when it is really distasteful.” eGrumps

eGrumps Law: Always steal one-liners from other people, and if you think you will be caught, give them credit for the original saying, unless, of course,  they are really brilliant one-liners, in which case take full credit and ignore the original writer.

Mae West (1892 – 1980). was an American actress, playwright, screenwriter and “sex symbol.”  Known for her sense of humor, and her “dirty comments,” her quotations  seem tame by modern standards, but she was a true pioneer in the use of double entendres . She was truly ahead of her time, and her quotations have withstood the test of time. eGrumps is proud, indeed honored, worshiped and adored by his many fans (all three of them) for repeating a few of her one-line pithy comments here.

Maybe her most famous: “Come up and see me some time, big boy. “

1. To err is human, but it feels divine.

2. When women go wrong, men go right after them.

3. It’s not the men in my life that counts — it’s the life in my men.

4. A hard man is good to find.

5. I’m the girl who lost her reputation and never missed it.

6.  When you think about it, what other playwrights are there besides O’Neill, Tennessee and Me.

7. It’s not what I do, but the way I do it. It’s not what I say, but the way I say it.
