Coffee, Funny and Beatles

I was going through an old work file last week and came across this.  Pearls of wisdom from Steven Wright.

*  Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

*  Hard work pays off in the future.  Laziness pays off now.

*  Everyone has a photographic memory.  Some just don’t have film.

*  Shin: a device for finding furniture in the dark.

*  I intend to live forever.  So far, so good.

*  Most people quit looking for work when they find a job.

*  What happens if you get scared half to death, twice?

*  If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

*  For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

*  No one is listening until you make a mistake.

*  Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.

*  The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

*  Borrow money from pessimists - they don’t expect it back.

*  The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch up.

Hahahahaha.  I love that last one.

Here Comes the Sun.

    Sounds like PJ’s motto.

    Ha! You’re right. I didn’t even think about that.

    Maybe they’re related.

    I’m all about the here and now baby.

    I’ve always enjoyed that Beatles song. Except it draws kids to my lap like a moth to a flame.

    It’s a happy good morning song. I dig it.

    “Borrow money from pessimists - they don’t expect it back.”

    Didn’t Harrison write that one? It is a nice tune.

    DIT - Correct! Wiki says George wrote it in Eric Clapton’s garden one spring day. For what it’s worth.

    Ringo always gets treated as the red-headed stepchild of the Beatles and Lennon is put on a pedestal as some sort of demigod. However I know at least one area where Ringo PWNED!11!! Lennon.

    Lennon’s wife:

    You know, I’ve always thought the basic problem we had with Yoko was the “WTF? factor”.

    Pauls women weren’t exactly super nova hot either.

    Linda-ummm, not the best lookin’ chick.

    And a unileg. WTF?

    Yoko was hot for a horribly disfigured burn victim.

    Heather Mills was hot for a pogo stick.

    I’m going to hell.
