Twisted Deep Thoughts

In the Roadrunner cartoon, the coyote has been chasing him for 25 years. I'd like to see him finally get right up to him and go "Sorry, I thought you were someone else."

I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king, I hope they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.

If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.

Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me.

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.

I think someone should have had the decency to tell me the luncheon was free. To make someone run out with potato salad in his hand, pretending he's throwing up, is not what I call hospitality.

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.

As the evening sky faded from a salmon color to a sort of flint gray, I thought back to the salmon I caught that morning, and how gray he was, and how I named him Flint.

Sometimes I think the world has gone completely mad. And then I think, "Aw, who cares?" And then I think, "Hey, what's for supper?"

It's sad that a family can be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of wild dogs.

Nice post, kinda of makes ya think on some of them. Hate to to date myself on this one. Think Mr. Wile E. Coyote hit the screen in 1949 as a silent cartoon then the great Mel Blanc put sound to it in 1952. The rest is history.

Best Deep Thought ever:

“If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let 'em go, because man, they're gone.”

C. Numb, RE: 25 years of Roadrunner cartoons--I thought the same thing but I didn't look it up to find out the truth. They're even older than I am!

Answers, I'm not Steven Wright but the owner of the website I borrowed these from might be. LOL

Sherri, AnO, Chup, I always liked Jack Handey too. I get a kick out of the absurd. There's a website www.deepthoughtsbyjackhandey.com
with daily deep thoughts.

Jarhead, I missed that one.

YM, why have you quit following me? I am heart broken. I feel like the mop that was replaced by the Swiffer. lol

I didn't! Not on purpose anyway!
