Aphorisms

"Life is what you think about all day."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are things to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honors are things to be ashamed of."

Confucius (551-479 B.C.E.)

Check out the new book "The World in a Phrase: A Brief History of the Aphorism".

A friend just showed me this neat website full of fat joke
I cant believe the quantity an quality of humerous fat joke it contains
Heres one of the jokes i found on it:
Bob brought some friends home to his apartment one night after they had been out painting the town. One friend noticed a big brass gong in Bobs bedroom and asked about it."Thats not a gong" Bob replied "thats a talking clock. Watch this!"
Bob struck the gong and sure enough a voice on the other side of the wall screamed "Hey your jerk its 3 o'clock in the morning!"
