    APHORISM: A SHORT, POINTED SENTENCE EXPRESSING A
WISE OR CLEVER OBSERVATION OR A GENERAL TRUTH.

                     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 cat and you will have 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. - Like this: It could be a right number.

                     13. No one ever says 'It's only a game.' when
their 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 60, if you don't wake up aching in
every joint, you are probably dead!

                     Always be yourself. Because the people that
matter, don't mind. And the one's that mind, don't matter.

                     Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a
gift.
