Nonsense...

If life seems jolly rotten, there's something you've forgotten. And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

For some reason, members of my family enjoy to rhapsodize about rhetorical situations involving me.
My Mother:
What? Dan doesn't want you to move in with him?!
My Brother-In-Law:
No. I told him I wanted to become a bachelor and move into his pad. I even offered to pay 75% of the rent.
My Mother:
That sounds good to me!
My Brother-In-Law:
I know. I don't get it.
They don't understand that I don't find it amusing, but because they are playing little roles they must think that my disdain is feigned as well.

He never seems to play this song live…

My brother-in-law:
Do you like gay jokes?
Me:
Not particularly, no.
Him:
Oh... I was going to tell you one... and now, I guess I won't.

You had to go into every concert hoping for either a fight or a break-up…

Sarah Palin Wanted To Adopt Her Granddaughter 

…because that’s what a maverick would do. I would just like to take this time to quote from Palin’s RNC acceptance speech: “We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty and sincerity and dignity.” Well said.

I still love this…

Paying for sex is like making your cat dance on its’ back legs - you know it’s wrong, but you like to pretend they’re enjoying it as well.
I don’t trust gov 2 run HC. Only 2 run military, HC of vets, post office, justice system, infrastructure & the education of my children.

I love this idea!

Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we… are the cure.

I’m watching The Matrix. I love this monologue.
