REMEMBER:
"When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt.
  
 


1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not
walk ahead of

me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me
either. Just pretty

much leave me the hell
alone.


2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a
broken fan belt and

a leaky
tire.


3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're
going to steal your

neighbor's newspaper, that's the
time to do it.


5. Don't be irreplaceable. If you
can't be replaced, you can't be

promoted.

6. No one is listening until you
fart.


7. Always remember that you're unique. Just like
everyone else.


8. Never test the depth of the water
with both feet.


9. If you think nobody cares if
you're alive, try missing a couple
of

car
payments.


10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a
mile in their

shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're a
mile away and you

have their
shoes.


11. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not
for you.


12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.
Teach him how to

fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all
day.


13. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person
again, it was

probably worth
it.


14. If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember
anything.


15. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a
lot of that comes

from bad
judgment.


16. The quickest way to double your money is to fold
it in half and

put it back in your
pocket.


17. A closed mouth gathers no
foot.


18. Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side
and a dark side,

and it holds the universe
together.


19. There are two theories to arguing with women.
Neither one works.


20. Generally speaking, you aren't
learning much when your lips are

moving.

21. Experience is something you
don't get until just after you need
it.


22. Never miss a good chance to shut
up.


23. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping
pill and a

laxative on the same
night.


24. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way
to take it too

seriously.

25. Everyone seems normal until you
get to know them.

  1. I DID NOT REALIZE UNTIL I WATCHED "SACRED JOURNEYS TO LOURDES" THAT SOLDIERS, CATHOLIC OR NOT, FROM THE USA AND OTHER COUNTRIES GO TO LOURDES. I THOUGHT ONLY ORDINARY PILGRIMS LIKE ME GO THERE.

  2. I DID NOT REALIZE UNTIL I WATCHED "SACRED JOURNEYS WITH BRUCE FEILER: JERUSALEM" THAT CHRISTIAN PIGRIMS WALK ON "JESUS TRAIL." AND "SACRED JOURNEYS WITH BRUCE FEILER: HAIJ" THAT MUSLIM PILGRIMS FOLLOW MUHAMMAD'S PATH STARTING FROM MEDINA, THE SECOND ISLAMS' HOLY CITY. ALONG THE WAY THEY COLLECT SMALL STONES AND THROW THEM AT A BIG PILLAR SYMBOLIZING THE DEVIL.
