Bill FoxBy Bill Fox/Columnist

  1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
  2. Don’t worry about what people think, they don’t do it very often.
  3. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.
  4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
  5. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.
  6. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
  7. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

  9. Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of cheques.
  10. No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes.
  11. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

  13. Opportunities always look bigger going than coming.

  17. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
  18. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
  19. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”

  25. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
  26. Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.
  27. If swimming is so good for your figure, how do you explain whales?
  28. If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
  29. When everything’s coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
  30. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you don’t have a leg to stand on.
  31. On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the Escape key.
  32. Everyone has a photographic memory.  Some just don’t have film.
