Reader Roundup is a weekly update on what’s going on in my world. Welcome!
I have an ongoing list of quotes I like, mostly so I don’t forget them but also to use in my writing. Some are funny, other serious, but all worth keeping. Today I want to share some of the humorous ones with you. Most of the citations are missing because I neglected to write down the source!
I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it left. (Yep, that’s me!)
I’m as happy as a tornado in a trailer park. (Been there – almost did that.)
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. (A good description of social media today.)
If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried. (Gotta keep my reputation intact.)
“Excuse me, excuse me for being so rude. It was not me, it was my food. Instead of staying way down below – it just popped up to say hello.” (This little gem came from a co-worker years ago after I accidentally let one rip.)
I don’t mind coming to work…but this eight hour wait to go home is just bullshit! (I don’t really think this way, but too many of my co-workers do!)
Perfect health: the slowest possible rate at which one can die. John L. Hart (Not exactly a great motivator for healthy living!)
Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can’t eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away! (This would be great if I could do it without getting arrested.)
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert Einstein (He must have been referring to my job…)
Now it’s your turn. Send me your gems and I’ll see how many I can use in future books!
