For Information on the 2010 (so far) Award: I’ve Got a Bridge I Want to Sell You – go to www.grumps.com.
Hot damn – It’s June 1 already. I guess I can forget about my New Year’s Eve resolutions – actually, I don’t remember my New Year’s Eve resolutions. Philosophical question – can you intentionally break a new Year’s Eve Resolution, if you don’t remember it? Probably not – you can’t intentionally break it if you don’t know what it was. Ergo – if someone accuses you of intentionally breaking your New Year’s Eve Resolutions – say you forgot them – and to bug off.
The object is to die young, as late as possible.
When in doubt, predict the present trend will continue.
There are only two problems with people. One is that they don’t think. The other is that they do.
Love is a matter of chemistry. Sex is a matter of physics.
You are not drunk if you can lie an the floor without holding on.
Logic is a systematic way of arriving at the wrong conclusion with confidence.
If it jams force it. If it breaks, it needed replacement anyway.

People are living longer these days. When the Angel of Death calls, he gets an answering machine.
I just bought an answering machine. It’s not working too well. Maybe the fact that I don’t have a telephone has something to do with it.
Why is it that whenever you return a call left on your answering machine, you get the other person’s answering machine?
I’ve solved the problem of getting messages on my answering machine. It says, “Please leave a message after the beep.” And there is no beep. Saves me having to return a lot of calls.
My kids moved away from home. We haven’t talked in two years. We just leave messages on each others answering machines.
Another method to reduce the number of messages left on your answering machine – Put the message “We’re not home right now, we”ll return the call when we get back – in about three years.”
I proposed to my girlfriend by leaving a message on her answering machine. How was I to know she had a husband?

When I was in the hospital I had a day nurse and a night nurse. In the afternoon I rested. “EGrumps, you are full of it. You’re really bad. I can’t get the Nurse’s Agency to send you any more nurses. I was told that your performance is so bad, you would flunk Sex 1, actually they said you’d probably already flunked the introductory course. You’re giving manhood a bad name.” (Mrs. eGrumps)
A practical nurse is one who marries a rich patient.
I once had a very good nurse. When she took my blood pressure, she deducted 20 points for cleavage.
