By "Christmas" we mean hanukkah, kwaanza, eat-yellow-snow-day, get-atheist-gifts-day, hit-yourself-over-the-head-while-trying-to-bring-home-a-big-ass-tree-which-for-some-reason-you-want-to-put-in-your-living-room-instead-of-in-the-outdoors-where-it-belongs-day, and all other winter related holidays, festivals, and occasions-where-you-try-to-be-nice-to-family-members-you'd-rather-were-sleeping-with-the-fishies. So, no flames about how your [insert feelings/religion/other-beef] is being compromised, hurt, or in other ways belittled. Thank you.

I remember the days of youth - running through fields of clover, barefoot and carefree; playing in the rain, naked and innocent; riding with my head out the window of my parents' car, the wind blowing through my hair... no, wait... that was my dog, Cookie. I was the one who had to stay after school and finish my math homework. Yeah, I remember now...

Whenever I go to a bar, I always go right up to the most beautiful woman in the room and say, "You've got something hanging out of your nose." Hey, since I've got no shot at her, I might as well humble her a little for the next guy.

I saw a quote that said, "Don't say you don't have time. You have as much time as Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison did." Yeah, but they were smarter than I am.

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.

There will be no living Nativity scene in Washington this year. This has nothing to do with a Supreme Court ruling or for religious reasons. They simply cannot find three wise men or a virgin.

As for being a "gay person", I should let you know that I am not gay. I do however know some gay people and they are just like everyone else, (except for the fact than they have horns and eat babies). Therefore calling me a "gay person" is quite an ineffectual insult.

My mother used to say that there was no word like 'prima donna' to describe males who behave in that arrogant, spoiled, and unreasonably demanding way, because the word for men who behave like that is 'men'.

If earth were the size of an pencil eraser, that would mean that the Sun would be slightly bigger than a breadbox and we humans would be the size of really pissed off little people.
