A fellow who's just reached his 150th birthday was giving a press conference
to the assembled media.
"Excuse me, sir," one of the reporters said, "but how did you come to live
to 150?
"It's actually quite simple," the old feller replied. "I just never argue."
"That's impossible," the reporter responded. "There must be something else,
like diet, or meditation, or something. Just not arguing won't keep you
alive for 150 years!"
The old fellow stared hard at the reporter for several seconds.
"Hmmm," he finally shrugged, "maybe you're right."
"Every game ever invented by mankind is a way of making things hard
for the fun of it."

In the 1960s at a theological bookstore in Durham, England Christopher overheard two students in the next aisle talking. They had just finished finals and were in a celebratory mood. One said to the other, "I think I'll go buy some Jesus stickers and plaster them all over the town!"
There was a long pause, and then the second said, "Do you think Jesus would do that?"
There was an even longer pause, "No, I guess Jesus wouldn't do that. But I bet Paul would!"

It's time to go on a diet when:
You are diagnosed with the flesh-eating virus, and the doctor gives you 22 more years to live.
Your driver's license says, "Picture continued on other side."
You learn you were born with a silver shovel in your mouth.
You go to the zoo and the elephants throw peanuts to you.
You put mayonnaise on an aspirin.
Your blood type is Ragu.
You could sell shade.
