WAYS TO ANNOY YOUR PUBLIC BATHROOM STALLMATE


THE STEAMY SIDE OF CARTOONS


THE WORLD ACCORDING TO ANDY ROONEY

Ads In Bills:
Have you ever noticed that they put advertisements in with your bills now? Like bills aren't distasteful enough, they have to stuff junk mail in there with them. I get back at them. I put garbage in with my check when I mail it in. Coffee grinds, banana peels ... I write, "Could you throw this away for me? Thank You."

Morning Differences:
Men and women are different in the morning. The men wake up aroused in the morning. We can't help it. We just wake up and we want you. And the women are thinking, "How can he want me the way I look in the morning?" It's because we can't see you. We have no blood anywhere near our optic nerve...

Fabric Softener:
My wife uses fabric softener. I never knew what that stuff was for. Then I noticed women coming up to me ... (sniff) "Married" (walk off). That's how they mark their territory. You can take off the ring, but they still know you're married!

Pregnant Women:
It's weird when pregnant women feel the baby kicking. They say, "Oh my God. He's kicking. Do you wanna feel it?" I always feel awkward reaching over there. Come on! It's weird to ask someone to feel your stomach. I don't do that when I have gas. "Oh my god ... give me your hand ... it won't be long now ..."

Grandma:
My grandmother has a bumper sticker on her car that says, "Sexy Senior Citizen". You don't want to think of your grandmother that way, do you? Out entering wet shawl contests. Makes you wonder where she got that dollar she gave you for your birthday...

Prisons:
Did you know that it costs forty thousand dollars a year to house each prisoner? Jeez, for forty thousand bucks a piece I'll take a few prisoners into my house. I live in Los Angeles. I already have bars on the windows. I don't think we should give free room and board to criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a treadmill and generate electricity. And if they don't want to run, they can rest in the chair that's hooked up to the generator...

Award Shows:
Can you believe how many award shows they have now? They have awards for commercials. The Cleo Awards, a whole show full of commercials. I taped it and then I fast-forwarded through the whole thing...

Phone-In-Polls:
You know those shows where people call in and vote on different issues? Did you ever notice there's always like 18% that say "I don't know"... It costs 90 cents to call up and vote. They're voting "I don't know." "Honey, I feel very strongly about this. Give me the phone. (into phone) "I DON'T KNOW!" (hangs up looking proud) "Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe you're not sure about." This guy probably calls up phone sex girls for $2.95 to say, "I'm not in the mood."

Answering Machine:
Did you ever hear one of these corny, positive messages on someone's answering machine? "Hi, it's a great day and I'm out enjoying it right now... I hope you are too. The thought for the day is 'Share the love.'" Beep." "Uh, yeah ... this is the VD clinic calling ... Speaking of being positive, your test is back. Stop sharing the love."

    SERENITY PRAYER REVISITED

    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    the courage to change the things I cannot accept,
    and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people
    I had to kill today because they pissed me off.
    And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today
    as they may be connected to the ass
    that I might have to kiss tomorrow...


    INDIAN PRAYER REVISITED

    Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them, and you have their shoes.


    POKER NIGHT IN HELL


    THE "ANTI" I HAVE LEARNED ...

    I've learned ...that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they give in.
    I've learned ...that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes.
    I've learned ...that it takes years to build up trust, and only suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
    I've learned ...that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you'd better have a big dick or huge tits.
    I've learned ...that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think.
    I've learned ...that you can keep puking long after you think you're finished.
    I've learned ...that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
    I've learned ...that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take its place.
    I've learned ...that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones who do.
    I've learned ...that we don't have to ditch bad friends because their dysfunction makes us feel better about ourselves.
    I've learned ...that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get arrested and end up in the local paper.
    I've learned ...that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.
    I've learned ...to say "F*** 'em if they can't take a joke" in 6 languages.

    A more touching version is I Have Learned


    DON'T LOSE YOUR ASS

    There was an old man, a boy and a donkey. They were going to town and it was decided that the boy should ride. As they went along they passed some people who thought that it was a shame for the boy to ride and the old man to walk. The man and boy decided that maybe the critics were right so they changed positions.

    Later, they passed some more people who thought that it was a real shame for that man to make such a small boy walk. The two decided that maybe they both should walk.

    Soon they passed some more people who thought that it was stupid to walk when they had a donkey to ride. The man and the boy decided maybe the critics were right so they decided that they both should ride.

    They soon passed other people who thought that it was a shame to put such a load on a poor little animal. The old man and the boy decided that maybe the critics were right so they decided to carry the donkey. As they crossed a bridge they lost their grip on the animal and he fell into the river and drowned.

    THE MORAL OF THE STORY ... If You Try to Please Everyone, You Will Eventually Lose Your Ass.
