In the game of life, like in the game of craps – the dice have no memory. (I don’t really understand that, but it sounded good, whatever it means.)
To err is human, but to really foul things up, you need a computer.
When attempting to type in an outgoing server address, it is best to us “smtp,” not “stmp.” or is it the other way around?
A bureaucracy is an organization that has raised stupidity to the status of a religion.
The Rational Fallacy — Everything happens because of a reason.
Never, ever do anything you would not be caught dead doing.

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)

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.

Famous Maxims of Life for the Pessimist:
If you’re feeling good, don’t worry you’ll get over it.
When things can’t get any worse, don’t worry, they will.
When things are going well something will go wrong.
Any time things appear to be getting better, you have overlooked something.
The more time you spend on reporting on what you are doing, the less time you have to do anything. Stability is achieved when you spend all your time doing nothing but reporting on the nothinh you are doing.
You can’t guard against the arbitrary. If things were left to chance, they’d be better.
The volume of paper expands to fill the available briefcase.
When all else fails, read the instructions
