Ever wonder... where we are headed... Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why women can't put on mascara with their mouth closed? hey! I put on mascara with my mouth closed!

But you sir, When you're born you're PINK, When you grow up you're WHITE, When you're sick, you're GREEN, When you go in the sun you turn RED, When you're cold you turn BLUE, And when you die you turn PURPLE. And you have the nerve to call me colored?" The black man then sat back down and the white man walked away... MURPHY'S LESSER-KNOWN LAWS: 1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. 2. He who laughs last, thinks slowest. 3. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. 4. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't. 5. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. 6. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90 probability you'll get it wrong. 7. If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a hill, in the fog. 8. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it. 9. The things that come to those who wait, will be the things left by those who got there first. 10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat all day drinking beer. 11. A flashlight is a case for holding dead batteries. 12. The shinbone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room. 13. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well. 14. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of 12 people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty. Homophobia and You: They're people too! Stop the hate and spread the love! I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian. I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman. I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights. We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time. I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room. I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me. I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again. I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear. We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men. I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me. I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman. I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male. I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men. I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that. I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual. I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me. I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind. I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love. I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male. Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it. Hate stereotypes? Bold those that fit you, and then post on your profile. I'M SKINNY, so I MUST be anorexic. If you secretly (or not so secretly) think that the names like Albus Severus and Renesme Carlie should NOT under any circumstances be forced upon innocent children as legal names, copy and paste this into your profile. If youve ever wanted to go into a book and slap/ scream at a character copy and paste this onto your profile. If you read people's profiles looking for things to copy and paste into your profile, copy and paste this into your profile. If you're one of those people who get excited when you see just two reviews, paste this into your profile. If you've ever burst out laughing in a quiet room, add this to your profile. If you still laugh re-reading Maximum Ride, copy and paste this onto your profile.(SNICKERS BARS) If you want to see Maximum Ride (the movie) on the first day it comes out, copy and paste this onto your profile. If you have an increasingly sophisticated and extensive vocabulary, situate this in your characterization. If you have a true friend, copy and paste this into your profile. Admitting you are weird means you are normal. Saying that you are normal is odd. If you admit that you are weird and like it, copy this onto your profile. If you think rainbows are wonderful, post this in your profile. If you've ever started sobbing for no reason copy this to your profile. 95 percent of people are concerned with being popular. If you are part of the five percent who couldn't care less, copy this to your profile. If you love walking around in the pouring rain without an umbrella, copy this to your profile. If you have awesome friends who are scary when they're mad put this in your profile In case you need further proof that the human ace is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual instructions on consumer goods. On a Myer hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair!) On a bag of chips: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special?) On a bar of Palmolive soap: Directions: Use like regular soap. (And that would be how??) On some frozen dinners: Serving Suggestion: Defrost. (But it's just a suggestion.) On Nanna's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (Well, duh, a bit late, huh?) On Mark's & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after hot after heating." (And you thought??...) On packaging for a K-Mart iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (But wouldn't this save me more time?) On Boot's Children's Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those five-year-olds with head colds off those forklifts.) On Nytol Sleep Aid: Warning: May cause drowsiness. (And I'm taking this... because?) On most brands of Christmas tree lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (As opposed to... what?) On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (Now, somebody help me out on this. I'm a bit curious.) On packet on Nobby's Peanuts: Warning: Contains nuts. (Talk about a news flash!) On an American Airlines packet of nuts: Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts. (Step 3: maybe, uh... fly Delta?) (I don't blame the company on this one; I blame the parents) On a child's Superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." On a motorized scooter box: Warning: This vehicle moves. (Thanks Chikara Takashi!) If you love rain, copy and paste this into your profile. If you've ever forgotten how old you are when someone asked you, copy and paste this onto your profile. If you're reading this instead of doing something you really need to do (such as sleep), copy this into your profile. |
