      You can have your cake and eat it too. I sure hope so, it would suck if you got a cake and couldn't eat it.
      Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

        "Let them eat cake" might have been a so annoying phrase that she got her head chopped off.

          As the driver is pulled over by a police officer, "Do you know how fast you were going?" Of course I do, but no way am I going to admit it to you Mr. Officer.
          Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.

            "You pulled me over in high speed traffic just to ask me that question? Are you crazy?"

                Okay, this really did make me LOL. You accomplished a rare thing!

                "Bless your heart!" I once had a teacher explain to our class that whenever someone said this, they're really saying, "Oh, you poor dumba$$" Think about it:

                "I locked my keys in my car."
                "Bless your heart!"

                See?

                Can't think of anything creative this time

                  Call me cynical, but here are two translations that I noticed in our kid's elementary school:

                  "You know what, Mr. Nords..." --> "You are so busted" for kids or, for adults, "No, we're not gonna do that".

                  In a certain tone of voice, "Thank you SO much" --> "Screw this, I'm outta here".
                  Youth may be wasted on the young, but retirement is wasted on the old.
                  Live like you're dying, invest like you're immortal.
                  We grow old if we stop playing, but it's never too late to have a happy childhood.
                  Forget about who you were-- discover who you are.

                    ANYTIME someone invokes their personal religious values as an "explanation" for why something happened, or is going to happen, or in lieu of a real apology.

                          That office has been renamed. It's now the Department Of Redundancy Department.
                          .

                          That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

                            "lose money," was as ubiquitous ten years ago as "auuuurrrrrite" and "ainokea" (and its variations) are now. i consider the compulsive use of any of those three phrases as a sign of choosing mental apathy in order to be a lemming feigning originality.

                            it's actually the superfluous bureau of redundant precincts for departmental tautology.
                            superbia (pride), avaritia (greed), luxuria (lust), invidia (envy), gula (gluttony), ira (wrath) & acedia (sloth)--the seven deadly sins.

                            "when you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: the people i deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly..."--meditations, marcus aurelius (make sure you read the rest of the passage, ya lazy wankers!)

                            nothing humiliates like the truth.--me, in conversation w/mixedplatebroker re 3rd party, 2009-11-11, 1213

                                "This won't take a minute...." (no, it'll take an hour!)

                                and,

                                "This'll only take a minute." (Right....)

                                also,

                                "Sorry to bother you, but..." (Are you really? or just embarassed?)
