On the lighter side of philosophy...:-)

[Druweid]

"And now for something completely different."

I got these from an email my brother had sent me. I thought it might be nice, for a change, to look for some humor in philosophy. Enjoy, add, criticize, feel free.

* If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

* A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.


* Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.


* For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.


* He who hesitates is probably right.


* Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.


* No one is listening until you make a mistake.


* Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.


* The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required on it.


* The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.


* To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.


* To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.


* Two wrongs are only the beginning.


* You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive (The corollary is: You never really learn to pray until your kids learn to drive!).

* The problem with the gene pool is that there is not enough chlorine. And no lifeguard.

* Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.

* The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.


Humorously,

Yeah, I really can't argue with most of these.

Let's hear it for cynicism and Murphy's Law!

Most of them is simply beacuse we knowledge failiures and negative things better than possitive, just as negative critics has more effect that positive. Like an USB cable to a computer. There is a 50% chance to plug it in right (if you not see in the plug and finds the right one), you will plug it the right way as many times as the wrong ways, but you only knowtis the wrong ones followed with the statemen "it allways goes wrong". Its how the human mind work
