    A cub reporter for a small town newspaper was sent out on his first assignment.

    He submitted the following report to his editor.

    "Mrs. Smith was injured in a car accident today.

    She is recovering in County Hospital with lacerations on her breasts."

    1. If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.

    2. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

    3. Going to a mosque doesn't make you a Muslim any more than going to a garage makes you a mechanic.

    4. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

    5. If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

    6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

    7. Not one shred of evidence supports the notion that life is serious.

    8. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.

    9. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.

    10. If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

    11. Bills travel faster through the mail than checks.

    12. A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

    13. Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.

    14. Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.

    15. No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes.

    16. A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

    20. There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

    21. Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it.

    22. By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.

    23. Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

    24. Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.

    25. Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.
