Everything is easier to take apart than to put together.

The following One-Line “jokes” have no historical significance whatsoever – YET!!!
As ourPresident might have said:
Bibi, old buddy – if Israel will go back to its 1967 borders, America will give it, royalty-free, its plans for the fence separating the USA from Mexico. The Director of Homeland Security has told me it has been very effective in keeping out the illegals, and I know she wouldn’t lie to me. If it has worked for us, it will work for you in the same manner – it’s a win, win situation for Israel, the US and the Palestinians. Actually, it is a no lose proposition – for two out of three, and those are pretty good odds.
Bibi, I haven’t mentioned before, out alligator farms. We are breeding the biggest, meanest alligators ever seen, and they are all yours, free of charge. All you have to do is build a moat next to the foolproof fence (see above) and put the alligators in. My Secretary of Defense (and alligators are a defensive weapons system) has assured me they are cost effective, especially since they have a tendency to breed rather rapidly. I know he wouldn’t lie to me. We are trying to solve the problem of determining the females and the males, but once that has been mastered, it’s all to your benefit. Unfortunately we lost three alligator sex determiners last week, and recruits are now not volunteering the way they did in the past, but that can be solved. We’re working on a solution. One of my aides suggested that would be a relatively easy way to reduce the number of Republican candidates who want to run against me, but there are some problems with that approach. Trust me – we’ll solve it.
Bibi, I can’t think of a better way to solve the “right of return” problem than by having them cross the moat, climb the fence, cut through the barbed wire, and cross the mine field before they qualify as lawful immigrants to Israel. You can even copy our amnesty program, as soon as we work out a solution, which we anticipate should be around 2024.
Bibi, our countries must cooperate in this endeavor, and we have taken a first step by showing you the way to lead the Iraelis out of bondage. If Moses could do it, so can you. Trust us.
Finally, Bibi, old friend, America is willing to give you the services of a prominent member of our Jewish community to help you. I know Lady GaGa would not refuse. Please give her a call. Put the charge on the White House telephone bill. – we get a discounted rate.
(It is very hard to make fun of this very serious situation, but I’d rather take this approach, then to even suggest that the Israelis go back to the 1967 border – That’s about as unfunny as it can get. As your countrymen,, Mr. Prime Minister, have said “Never Again,” and I’m with you, sarcasm or not)

With the popularity of electric tooth brushes, the major cause of tooth decay is weak batteries.
My sister kept going out with an undertaker. I figured he was only out for her body.
Bumper sticker of the day: “Tell me about yourself, your struggles, your dreams, your telephone number.”
Unless you readers give me, eGrumps, unqualified praise, I must ignore you.
eGrumps is the type of man who can brighten anyone’s day – just by saying goodbye.
A banker is simply a pawnbroker with a manicure.
I’ll always meet you half-way. You admit I was right and I’ll admit you were wrong.

A few more borrowed (actually “stolen” would be a better word) one liners from the old plagiarizer himself, eGrumps:
1. Of course it is the murder weapon, who would frame somebody with a fake?
2. Everybody looks brave holding a machine gun.
3. All things are possible, except skiing through a revolving door.
4. This is an excellent time to become a missing person.
5. Drugs may be the route to nowhere, but at least they’re the scenic route.
6. According to my best recollection, I don’t remember.
7. Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
8. Great question from your sweet little child: “Daddy, why doesn’t this magnet pick up the floppy disk?”
9. I’m as confused as a baby in a topless bar.

Welcome to all my anonymous friends all over the world. The fact that so many of you keep coming back is testimony either to (1) an appreciation of good humor from your friendly host, eGrumps, or (2) your unbridled optimism that things will get better, because they couldn’t get any worse or (3) there is hope for all of us, no matter how bad eGrumps plagiarized sense of humor is. If you’d like to tell your friends about this site, be my guest – all you have to lose is their friendship.
If you would like to contact me, I can be reached at egrumps@egrumps.com, and I will give your email all the attention it deserves.
Onward and upward with today’s Pithy Comments:
Inevitable Slogans and Sayings
1. Nothing is illegal until you get caught.
2. My rules apply to other people, not to myself.
3. Whatever it is – I didn’t do it.
4. Avoid reality at all costs.
5. Believe in Darwin, cancer cures smoking.
6. Never trust a nun with a gun.
7. I should have known better, every happy moment in my life came from lying.
8. If you are feeling good, don’t worry – you’ll get over it.
9. Smile – tomorrow will be worse. (Believe me about that, eGrumps)
Finally – as my friends have told me (both of them) – eGrumps, you haven’t lost your mind, it’s backed up on a disk somewhere.

Great pearls of wisdom created over the ages by learned sages, or so I was told by a learned sage who was trying to freeload a drink from me at the local pub.
1. Don’t be sexist. Broads hate that.
2. It has recently been discovered that research causes cancer in rats.
3. Not tonight dear — I have a modem.
4. Reality is a crutch for people who can’t face drugs.
5. Sex is a disrobic experience.
6. Work is the course of the drinking class.
7. “Nobody will ever win the battle of the sexes. There is too much fraternizing with the enemy.” (Henry Kissinger)
8. What has four legs and an arm? A happy pit bull.

Sorry team – eGrumps has been out of circulation for about a week. Nothing serious, I think I OD’d on Mrs. eGrumps cooking. How was she to know, she said, that the container of rat poison wasn’t seasoning for her pasta. Damn, but I hate that woman. I know she wouldn’t lie to me, would she? Nah – well, may be a little bit. Actually that was the best tasting pasta she ever made, which tells you something about her cooking ability.
Alway remember this basic principle:
No mater what your aim in life,
No matter what your goal.
Keep your eye upon the donut,
And not upon the hole.
That has absolutely nothing to do with her cooking skills, or lack thereof, but I kind of like the poem. I have consistently ignored it all my miserable life, and what has it gotten me – a lying wife. She tried to poison me, and then said she didn’t.
But I digress from the basis tenet of this web site – one-liners and pithy comments. So here are a few I accumulated during my absence.
1.Every man has a scheme that will not work.
2. If you want to kill any idea in the world today – get a committee working on it.
3. Tilting at windmills hurts you more than the windmill.
4. When the going gets tough, it isn’t true that the tough get going – actually everyone leaves.
5. If two wrongs don’t make a right, try three.
6. If at first you don’t succeed, try something else.
7. Never, ever buy rat poison when you wife sends you to the market.
“Have a great day.I don’t suppose you’d believe I was only kidding about Mrs. eGrumps pasta recipe.” eGrumps.

“eGrumps – some day you’ll go far, and I hope you stay there.” (Mrs. eGrumps)
A diplomat is the only person who can say to his opponent: “Congratulations, you lose.”
eGrumps enjoys procrastination – it gives him something to do tomorrow.
At a banquet where eGrumps was the guest of honor, he stated: “I don’t know whether I have been introduced or read my Miranda rights.”
There’s strange thing about memory. Damned if I can remember what it was.
“I have never taken any exercise except sleep and rest.” (Mark Twain) “Mark was my kind of person” (eGrumps) ”eGrumps, he must hve been talking about you.” (Mrs. eGrumps) “Mrs. eGrumps, you, my dear, are a certified idiot.”(eGrumps). “I am not certified.” (Mrs. eGrumps)
Happy October!
