If you’ve missed some earlier postings scroll down and treat yourself to a whole bunch of beautiful sayings. No matter what the self-help books say, what is time for if you can’t waste it.

1. (An old favorite) – Candy is dandy, but sex doesn’t rot the teeth. (Actually, Murphy didn’t write that. Mrs. eGrumps thinks I did it, and I don’t want to disillusion her. It is rumored that the author was stabbed to death by his candy-loving girlfriend,  and buried in an unmarked grave. He remains anonymous. His girlfriend was never caught.)

2. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.

3. It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.

4. If we have nothing to lose by change, relax.
If we everything to lose by change, relax.

5. Technology is dominated by those who manage what they do not understand.

6. If an experiment works, something has gone wrong.

7. All’s well that ends.

1. The longer the title, the less important the job.

2.When in doubt, predict that the present trend will continue.

3. The idea is to die young as late as possible.

4. All things considered – life is 9 to 5 against.

5. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” (My philosophy teacher – that idiot – what did he know)

6. My job is only marginally better than daytime TV.

7. My law of drinking – you can’t fall off the floor. Or from an old English buddy – he is not drunk who can get off the floor and ask for more.

8. If you keep anything long enough, you can throw it away.

(Tell your friends to check this website out – it is a guaranteed way to lose friends.)

Best to all eGrumps

2. Etiquette: The art of doing the wrong thing the right way.

3. A man who is his own doctor has a fool for a patient. (This is not in the annals of the American Medical Association, but it should be)

4. Only an old timer can remember when dancing was done with the feet. That is,  if he can remember anything.

5. Criticism of eGrumps wouldn’t be so hard to take, except for the fact it is usually correct.

6. A comic is a man who originates old jokes. (That really hurts my ego, eGrumps)

7. IT IS NOT CERTAIN THAT EVERYTHING IS UNCERTAIN.

1. The doctor told me I had to lose 10 pounds.

2. Over the next five years I would have gained 10 pounds.

3. If I keep my same eating habits and my weight steady, I will not gain 10 pounds over the next five years.

4. Therefore – I will have lost the ten pounds I did not gain.

It’s very simple – the government does it all the time. If it doesn’t increase spending, it will have lost the amount of the spending increase because it did not increase spending. ERGO – the government has reduced spending by not increasing spending.

If it works for them it’ll work for you – but perhaps you should not tell your doctor that you are following the eGrumps plan and how you intend to lose the 10 pounds.
