Murphy (and friends) comments – Jokes, Humor & Pithy Comments (from eGrumps) – October 17, 2010.

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

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.
