Age 8: Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty.

Age 15: Looks at herself and sees herself as Cinderella/Sleeping Beauty/Cheerleader or if she is PMS’ing: sees fat/pimples/UGLY. (Mom I can’t go to school looking like this!)

Age 20: Looks at herself and sees “too fat/too thin, too/short/too tall, too straight/too curly”- but decides she’s going anyway.

Age 30: Looks at herself and sees “too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly” but decides she doesn’t have time to fix it, so she goes anyway.

Age 40: Looks at herself and sees “too fat/ too thin, too short/to tall too straight/too curly”- but says: “At least I’m clean” and goes anyway.

1. Don’t miss the boat.

2. Try to remember that we’re all in the same boat.

3. Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark, you know.

4. Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone might ask you to do something REALLY big.

5. Don’t listen to critics, just get on with what has to be done.

6. Build your future on high ground.

7. For safety’s sake, travel in pairs.

8. Two heads are better than one.

9. Speed isn’t always an advantage; after all, the snails were on board with the cheetahs.

10. When you’re stressed, try floating awhile.

11. Remember that the ark was built by amateurs; it was the Titanic that was built by professionals.

12. Remember that woodpeckers inside are a larger threat than storms outside.

13. No matter what the difficulty, trust in the Almighty: There’ll be a rainbow at the end of the storm.

You Know You’re In Trouble When …

… Your accountants letter of resignation is postmarked Zurich.

… Your suggestion box starts ticking.

… Your secretary tells you the FBI is on line 1, the DA is on line 2, and CBS is on line 3.

… You make more than you ever made, owe more than you ever owed, and have less than you’ve ever had.

… The simple instructions enclosed aren’t.

… People send your wife sympathy cards on your anniversary.

… You see your wife and your girlfriend having lunch together.

… The plumber floats by on your kitchen table.

1. Breaking up would be a lot easier. A smack to the ass and a “Nice hustle, you’ll get ‘em next time” would pretty much do it.

2. Birth control would come in ale or lager.

3. Valentine’s Day would be moved to February 29th so it would only occur in leap years.

4. On Groundhog Day, if you saw your shadow, you’d get the day off to go drinking. Mother’s Day too.

5. St. Patrick’s Day, however, would remain exactly the same. But it would be celebrated every month.

6. Garbage would take itself out.

7. Regis and Kathie Lee would be chained to a cement mixer and pushed off the Golden Gate Bridge for the most lucrative pay-per-view event in world history.

8. The only show opposite Monday Night Football would be Monday Night Football from a Different Camera Angle.

9. Instead of “beer-belly,” you’d get “beer-biceps.”

10. Tanks would be far easier to rent.

11. Two words “Ally McNaked.”

12. When a cop gave you a ticket, every smart-aleck answer you responded with would actually reduce your fine.

As in: Cop:”You know how fast you were going?”

You: “All I know is, I was spilling my beer all over the place.”

Cop: “Nice one, That’s $10.00 off”.

13. People would never talk about how fresh they felt.

14. Daisy Duke shorts would never go out of style again.

15. Every man would get four real Get Out of Jail Free cards per year.

16. Telephones would cut off after 30 seconds of conversation.

17. The victors in any athletic competition would get to kill and eat the losers.

18. It would be perfectly legal to steal a sport car, as long as you returned it the following day with a full tank of gas.

19. Instead of a fancy, expensive engagement ring, you could present your wife-to-be with a giant foam hand that said, “You’re#1!”.

20. When your girlfriend really needed to talk to you during the game, she’d appear in a little box in the corner of the screen during a time-out

21. Nodding and looking at your watch would be deemed as an acceptable response to “I love you.”

22. The funniest guy in the office would get to be CEO.

23. “Sorry I’m late, but I got wasted last night,” would be an acceptable excuse for tardiness.

24. At the end of the workday a whistle would blow and you would jump out of your window and slide down the tail of a brontosaurus and right into your car like Fred Flintstone.

25. Lifeguards could remove citizens from beaches for violating the “public ugliness” ordinance.

26. Hallmark would make “Sorry, what was your name again?” cards.
