The Daily Reflections

In a finite house, no matter how often you wipe your feet the carpet will still mess up the soles of your shoes.

 

 

A gentleman emails, "If we were in a 'non-finite' world, would the revolution exist?"

And a second gentleman writes, "Did that first gentleman say 'would' or 'could'?"

There was once a small child who was mistakenly caught up in a proverb in which he was referred to as a "small planet." After that, life was never the same.

 

 

In attempting to get a glimpse of the floor above, one man was pleased to imagine that he could see no fire doors up there.

 

 

Secret City Wisdom of the Hour:
Those who sing
when they could complain
will never be elected to office.

 

 

News You Can Use:
The second stage is the hardest--except for the third and fourth. (Hey! Heads up, troops--that's actually good news!)

 

 

Taking center stage and with everyone's attention totally in hand, the man pronounced, "We must first have a full comprehension of the problems before any solutions are possible," and the overwhelming laughter arising from them each and all caused him to embarrassingly realize that he was in the wrong reality!

 

 

 

A man once asked a revolutionist, "If nothing's wrong, then what are you talking about?.....A man once asked a revolutionist, "If nothing's wrong, then what are you talking about?.......A man once asked a revolutionist, "If nothing's wrong, then what are you talking about?"
