Those are very clever. Why does one instantly forget them - or is it just me?
BTW You were very much in my thoughts when I wrote my last post. I love the baby too. Michele sent me this time.

Judy,

Along the same lines:

Aaahh....such simple pleasures....when you are an adult, "open mouth, insert foot" means something totally different!

When a person assists a criminal in breaking the law BEFORE the criminal gets arrested, we call him an accomplice.

When a person assists a criminal in breaking the law AFTER the criminal has been arrested, we call him a defense attorney.

This has a delightfully Steven Wright-ish feel to it. I can't stop smiling.

I'm way overdue for my "from-Michele" visit. Blogger was having a bad stretch when I tried last night, so I shut the laptop down and decided to unplug completely for the evening.

It was a nice change from the usual.

Oh These Are All GREAT, Judy! I LOVE THEM!! You always have the BEST "sayings" and Questions....!

It's not too late to join this SIGN Meme today, Judy. I noticed that some people who signed up have not posted yet...! I have to somehow get out and try to get some pictures of SIGNS around town here, without exposing myself to a lot of people...LOL!
Can't wait to see that Sign from Switzerland!

These are very amusing adn I think the one about driving is true! However, I am sure my mother would say it was having us kids! LOL!

Michele sent me this time :) I had already commented on your latest post so I came here.

Cute & clever. I've heard that Preparation H is good to use under the eyes. I have never tried it.
As for the Lipton tea workers taking coffee breaks. I think I told you that I don't care for coffee, so I've never taken a coffee break in my life. I know I'm odd for not drinking it, but I don't like the taste.
That baby photo is adorable.
AND the piggy with those puppies is just darling.
