Proverbs to Contemplate on Purim
If the rich could hire
other people to die for
them, the poor could make a wonderful
living.
The wise man, even when he holds his tongue, says more than
the fool when he speaks
What you don't see with your eyes, don't invent
with your mouth.
A hero is someone who can keep his mouth shut when he is
right.
One old friend is better than two new ones.
One of life's greatest mysteries is how the boy who
wasn't good enough to marry your daughter can be the
father of the smartest grandchild in the world.
A wise man hears one word and understands two.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you
must keep moving. Albert Einstein
Intellectuals solve problems; geniuses prevent them.
Albert Einstein
You can't control the wind, but you can adjust your
sails. Yiddish proverb
We can't solve
problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we
created them . Albert
Einstein

Health Advice from Well Known Doctor:
Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?

Dingbat
The blonde reported for her University final examination which consisted of "yes/no" type questions. She stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration takes her purse out, removes a coin and starts tossing the coin and marking the answer sheet - Yes for Heads and No for Tails.
Within a half an hour, she is all done whereas the rest of the class is sweating it out.
During the last few minutes, she is seen desperately throwing the coin.
The moderator, alarmed, approaches her and asks what is going on.
"I finished the exam in half an hour. But," she says, "I am rechecking my answers."

taxidermist? What in tar-nation is a taxidermist?

The bartender
grins and
hollers, "It's okay boys. He's one of
us."
