Odds and Ends
Big Chunk - At 840,000 square miles,
Greenland is the largest island in the world. It is three times the size
of Texas. By comparison, Iceland is only 39,800 square miles.
Golden Numbers - The first year
that the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was open, it carried 3.5 million
vehicles. Today, the annual totals average close to 40 million. It cost $35
million to build with the construction bonds being paid off in 1971. The
replacement cost is estimated to be about $1.3 billion.
Empty Fridge - In his autobiography,
comedian David Brenner noted, "I swore to myself that when I became
a man and made some money, I would never eat at home but would eat every
meal out. It was a priority. To me, food in the refrigerator is a symbol
of poverty. When I see an empty refrigerator, I know I've got some bucks."
Man's Best Friend - Outside of a dog, a book
is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
- Groucho Marx
Move It - Too many people confine
their exercise to jumping to conclusions, running off at the mouth, stretching
the truth, bending over backwards, lying down on the job, side stepping responsibility,
swimming against the current and pushing their luck.

Parting Shot - I take my wife everywhere,
but she keeps finding her way back.

Speed Trap
A Police officer had been told by his sergeant
that he was to bring up his quota of speeding fines, he decided to park
and use his radar gun flashing the cars as they drove by on a busy street.
One hour went by then two and no one was speeding. After about six hours
a lone car came speeding by at well over the limit, the officer turned
on his lights and siren and pulled the car over. As the officer approached
the drivers window he remarked "I've been waiting for you all day."
The driver replied, "Well I got here as fast as I could."
Ssssssss
This little snail bought a little car and took it to the body shop to
have it painted. The service man asked him exactly what he wanted done, and
the snail said he wanted little S's painted all around and all over his car.
The service man asked him why, and the snail answered "When people see
me in my car I want them to say, 'look at that S-Car-Go!'"
