One Liner Medley

While you waited, he slipped comfortably into her panties.

Sometimes less is not more, it's just short of enough.

Rather than saving for a rainy day you should buy an umbrella today.

If you are reaching for the stars you can be pretty sure you're standing outside.

He felt a bit irritated when he had to jump for Joy!

He was on the highway to hell, fortunate for him his motorcycle broke down.

She wanted one on one time, sadly she had someone else in mind.

Of all your personalities I like this one the best!

Every time I make a judgement about you, I learn something about myself.

If you want to be seen, sometimes you need to stand by yourself.

Speaking louder does not make you right!

When you walk with your head in the clouds you're more likely to trip.

Original sin has become somewhat unoriginal!

I want to one day be as smart as he thinks he is.

Everything old is still old even if the new stuff looks old.

You can take that to the bank but it will cost you!

If a coward dies a hundred deaths, he should be extremely well prepared.

The poor cat got ripped off, he only had one life.

The man who talks the least has the best hearing.

Never ever underestimate the power of your own stupidity.

Not all who appear friendly are friends.

The one who loses brings another much joy.

"the man who talks the least has the best hearing" ... excellent, Richard! Especially those that prefer barking over speaking.

I really like these kinds of things. Are they all yours or did you pick favorites of yours from the internet?

To the best of my knowledge they are my own. Sometimes I wonder if maybe somehow an idea could have come from something I may have read over my life but I don't think so.

Sometimes zany zingers can inspire some thoughts ... and other times it just makes you laugh (which is always good). "Speaking louder does not make you right!" << this one spoke to me the most, especially in my corner of the world at the moment ... very clever with these one liners, my friend. A collage of emotions.

A potpourri of thought, I smiled, I frowned, I thought - I reacted. Can you ask for more than that? I am so glad that you shared these ... CayCay
