Guess I’ll Bring the Ouija
“People say, ‘But Betty, Facebook is a great way to connect with old friends.’ Well, at my age, if I want to connect with old friends I need a Ouija board.” —Betty White
She is a National Treasure. All the animals think so too.

Blondes Aren’t the Only Punchline
“I’m not offended by blonde jokes because I know I’m not dumb…and I also know that I’m not blonde.” —Dolly Parton
Dolly, Betty White, Tom Hanks, Keanu Reeves, and maybe Bill Murray (no - definitely Bill Murray) - this would be my Mt. Rushmore, if Mt. Rushmore didn't exist yet and I had the blasting skills to make it happen.
People who make those jokes are stupid as hell anyway. Hair color is just a physical appearance and nothing more. It has nothing to do with who you are as a person.
Dolly is a true gift to the entertainment world.. A great talent and a wonderful person. Her music has given us such joy! My favs, are “Jolene”, “Coat of many colors” (I cry each time I hear it). Each song she writes and sings tells a story. A story we can identify with when hearing it. By the way if not a true blonde, what color is her hair?👱♀️Norma Jean Morrissey

“The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized. It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away.” ― Stephen Hawking

“Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.”– Jim Carey

Behind every human you heard or haven't heard of , there is multiple humans who let them down, oneself included.

"The reason truth is stranger than fiction is that truth is not obliged to please editors and readers" - Mark Twain.

So damn true. If I put what happened the past eight years in a book, no one could get past the first chapter.
It is avery sad thing that nowadays that there is such useless information - Oscar Wilde
Yes, fiction does have to have a certain amount of realism to be believable. Weird, but true. You can't just spout nonsense or no one will buy it. Even fantasy has to have a certain logic to it. But there are less rules. Disclaimer: Not a teacher or English major. I'm just going by observation so don't quote me.
Plot Twist: Stealing Their Shoes Before The Roast
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.” —Jack Handey
I miss Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts. "On the other hand, you have different fingers."
Loved them. My favorite was "I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like Grandpa, not wailing and screaming like his passengers."
Load More Replies...Wow, I remember when "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" was still on SNL. Now I'm going to go to bed at the thoroughly unrespectable time of 10pm. (I'd meant to be in bed by 9:20pm!) I feel so old...

Someone’s living rent-free in my wardrobe
“He’s always asking: ‘Is that new? I haven’t seen that before.’ It’s like, Why don’t you mind your own business? Solve world hunger. Get out of my closet.” ― Michelle Obama
I know it’s never going to happen, but I would love, love, love to have Michelle Obama run for President!

After that, he said he was pleasantly surprised by the how good it was, and said he had changed his mind about Sci-Fi. Me and Asimov for the win! Another convert to a wonderful genre of fiction!
He wrote over 500 books, most quite long. At one point he was the most prolific author in the world, not sure if that's still the case. He wrote 7 days a week from 9am till 9pm except for short breaks.
And before word processing, he had something like eight or ten typewriters in his writing room, each with a different work-in-progress on it.

“I have noticed that even people who claim everything is predetermined and that we can do nothing to change it look before they cross the road.” — Stephen Hawking
Well, lots of people say, "God will protect me (like from COVID)." To those who believe in God: He/She/They/It gave you a brain and expects you to use it to help protect yourself!
God helps those who help themselves. He expects you to be diligent in protecting your body and others against harm. And as far as "religious liberty" to not wear a mask... Well how about render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's. In other words follow and obey the law of the land and keep your heart and body pure and healthy. It's a no brainer.
Load More Replies...All this reminds me of one of my dad’s favourite jokes. A man gets caught on his roof in a flood. As the water gets higher and higher a man comes along in a boat and says “get I’ll save you “. “No thanks says the man The Lord will save me. So the man I’m the boat rows away. Soon the water is up to the man’s neck when a helicopter flies over him and the pilot shouts “grab the rope and I’ll save you. Again the man says “no God will save me. The pilot flies away. Just then a wave consumes the man and he drowns. Up in Heaven he is greeted by the Lord. He says I am a good and loyal servant Lord why did you not save me.? To which the Lord replied “ I sent you a boat and a helicopter, What more did you want”?
This is a presumption that people have about people of all religions without knowing much about them at all. It might be true for current followers of Christianity but many religious people don't believe in it the way Stephen claims in the quote. For example, in my faith, we don't believe everything is predetermined. We do believe that we have free will but we believe that the Higher Power knows us and everything that exists so They're aware of our individual choices. However, the decision to make those choices is our own. I am Muslim (no hate because BP has become a place that congregates liberal Islamophobes which is unfortunate) and we don't believe that we're supposed to not take care of ourselves or our communities because God will. Our faith makes it clear that we must take all precautions for the safety of ourselves and our communities and only then leave to God. Its unfortunate that Americans (even intelligent ones) make arrogant presumptions about all religions without knowing
He wasn't necessarily talking about all religions, just people who say that science is a waste because everything is predetermined.

There are a lot of puzzles and riddles relating to books, and I love it. I highly recommend it :).
Open Mind? Here Come the Brain Invaders
"The trouble with having an open mind is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it."— Terry Pratchett
I have read every single Terry Pratchett book multiple times...except for, "The Sheppard's Crown", his last book...I can't do it...I own it, it sits in my collection...but if I read it, there will never be a "new" Terry Pratchett book for me to read.

“If you can’t beat them, arrange to have them beaten.” —George Carlin
My favorite George Carlin quote based on anything and everything that came out in the news. This just in. Scientists have discovered: "Saliva causes cancer, but only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.". And, yes, I am a cancer survivor.
I remember when he said that. I think it was on Johnny Carson, and was around the time—-early eighties, if memory serves—-it was discovered that saccharin caused cancer in mice, so was pulled from store shelves. That discovery was followed by a load of similar reports about other things, like every week a new product was being recalled or banned for the same or similar reason, so Carlin crafted this excellent joke by taking the idea to its most ludicrous extreme.
Load More Replies...I saw George Carlin back in the 80's. That was during the "stuff" period. He was hysterical and I think he's even more relevant today. RIP George!
My fave quote is his tirade on plastics, which ended with maybe Earth just wants plastic and "when she gets all she needs she'll just shake us off like a bad case of fleas".

“Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.” — Erma Bombeck
At the hospital I used to work at, in our unit we set up a room to just sit and be quiet. We got a goldfish. We set up a "medication" record to sign when the fish was fed so they didn't get overfed and die. One day someone was cleaning the fishbowl and the fish fell on the floor. Got them back into the bowl in time, but still, they didn't look so good. We attached oxygen tubing and put it in the water to try to help, but they died. We had a small funeral before flushing them down a large disposal. No way we were going to tell our patients we couldn't keep a goldfish alive!
