Lessons in Logic


If your father is a poor man,
it is your fate but,
if your father-in-law is a poor man,
it's your stupidity.

***

I was born intelligent -
education ruined me.

***

Practice makes perfect.....
But nobody's perfect......
so why practice?

***

If it's true that we are here to help others,
then what exactly are the others here for?

***

Since light travels faster than sound,
people appear bright until you hear them speak.

***

How come "abbreviated" is such a long word?

***

Money is not everything.
There's Mastercard & Visa.

***

One should love animals.
They are so tasty.

***

Behind every successful man, there is a woman
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.

***

Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.

***

The wise never marry.
and when they marry they become otherwise.

***

Success is a relative term.
Its arrival brings so many relatives.

***

Never put off the work till tomorrow
what you can put off today.

***

"Your future depends on your dreams"
So go to sleep

***

There should be a better way to start a day
Than waking up every morning

***

"Hard work never killed anybody"
But why take the risk

***

"Work fascinates me"
I can watch it for hours

***

God made relatives;
Thank God we can choose our friends.

***

The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know
So.. why learn.

***

A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where a train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station....
what more can I say........
