1. The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.
2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
3. If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.
4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.
5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water.
6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?
7. Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
8. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?
9. Scratch a dog and you'll find a permanent job.
10. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car.
11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.
12. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM. It could be a right number.
13. Think about this..., No one ever says "It's only a game" when his team is winning.
14. I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.
15. Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it.
16. The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
17. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos?
(And RAP music will be the Golden Oldies!)
18. Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than in a Yugo.
19. After a certain age, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you're probably dead.
 
Those are funny and most are true, but some aren't. Take for instance, #18 says that money can't buy happiness. While on the whole, that's been something that mostly poor people say, it's not always an absolute. It really depends on who is getting the money. Yes it's true that anyone who makes a hundred grand a year probably won't get any happiness if they double, triple or even get ten times that amount for a raise. Maybe even if Joe Sixpack wins the lottery for anywhere from a mil to tens of millions, he might not find happiness. But there is a point in which the very poor can become much more happy with more money. There was a study of this very subject some time ago, and though I can't remember who did it, it made plenty of sense.
