Thirteen Observations About Life

1. Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
2. The easiest way to find something that you lost in your house is to buy a replacement.

4. Have you noticed that since everyone has a cell phone with a video camera, no one talks about seeing UFOs any more?
5. Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
6. I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.
7. All of us could take a lesson from the weather: It pays no attention to criticism.
8. In the 1960’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
9. Why is there a light in the refrigerator, but there isn’t one in the freezer?
10. Ever wonder about the thought processes of the person who first said, “Look at that chicken over there. I wonder what it tastes like.”
11. If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
12. Ever notice that when you blow in a dog’s face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window and lets the wind blow in his face?
13. Why doesn’t glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
