Anybody remember Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey, the silly skit on Saturday Night Live a few years back that poked fun at the shallowness of New Age affirmations? That was so funny. I found some, and thought I would post them here, and create a thread that can be just silly things that we come across, astrology jokes, etc. Nothing too graphic, just goofy, of which I tend to get a lot of

So, I think I'll start...

Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey

One day one of my little nephews came up to me and asked me if the equator was a real line that went around the Earth, or just an imaginary one. I had to laugh. Laugh and laugh. Because I didn't know, and I thought that maybe by laughing he would forget what he asked me.

And now, another episode of Deep Thoughts...by Jack Handey (can't you still hear Phil Hartman's voice, all soft and flaky?)

How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.

Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right there, in the room, talking to you, which is why I don't like to read good books.

Haha, okay, that's enough from me and Jack for now

All acts of Love and Laughter are Her rituals!!

How many members of your Sign does it take to change a light bulb?

>>
>>GEMINI:

Forgive me if you will for this here. it's not exactly perhaps the right place for it, but thought it had some good points. Also, I am learning to send things from one place on the computer to another. i appreciate your indulgence.

Annie,

I love the lightbulb jokes!

Howz this...

A New Age Lullaby

Hush little baby don't you squall
Momma's gonna buy you a crystal ball

And if you still can't see beyond
Momma's gonna buy you a magic wand

And if that wand don't change your fate
Momma's gonna teach you to levitate

And if the astral makes you sick,
Momma's gonna buy you an incense stick

And if that patchouli smells too rank
She'll buy you a sensory deprivation tank

And if that tank don't float your bones
Momma's gonna buy you some precious stones

And if those gems don't ease your heart
Momma's gonna buy you a natal chart

And if your planets go berserk
Momma's gonna buy you some bodywork

And if your aura still needs kneading
Momma's gonna buy you a past life reading

And if your destiny stays hid
Momma's gonna buy you a pyramid

And if your chakras still feel stressed
Momma's gonna take you on a vision quest

And if power animals don't come to charm ya
Sorry, kid, it's just your karma.

Laugh it up

Carlo

Annie! O, lord, this is the second time today I am just sitting here cackling at my computer. LoL. Good one. Of course, I can truly appreciate the Sag one, me being Sag, that is totally my attitude. And Aries, since my beloved is an Aries. Whoo. I have got to send these out to my lists. Wherever do you get these!!!! Carlo, hun, I still love the lullaby. And Jack Handy was hysterical. I love SNL from the 80's.
Love you guys!
Galadriel

One Liners..
These are too funny!

Never raise your hands to your kids. It
leaves your groin unprotected.

I'm not into working out. My philosophy: No pain, no pain.

I'm still trying to figure out why kamikaze pilots wore helmets.

Ever wonder if illiterate people get the full effect
of alphabet soup?

I always wanted to be somebody, but I should
have been more specific.

Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's
face he gets mad at you? But when
you take him in a car he sticks his head out
the window.

Have you ever noticed? Anybody going slower than you
is an idiot, and anyone
going faster than you is a maniac.

You have to stay in shape. My grandmother
started walking five miles a day when
she was 60. She's 97 today and we don't know
where she is.

The reason most people play golf is to wear clothes
they would not be caught dead in otherwise.

Anytime four New Yorkers get into a cab
together without arguing, a bank
robbery has just taken place.

I have six locks on my door, all in a row.
When I go out, I lock every other
one. I figure no matter how long somebody
stands there picking the locks, they
are always locking three.

I had a linguistics professor who said that
it's man's ability to use language
that makes him the dominant species on the
planet. That may be, but I think
there's one other thing that separates us
from animals. We aren't afraid of vacuum cleaners.

TV ads show you how detergents take out
bloodstains. I think if you've got a
bloodstained T-shirt, maybe laundry isn't
your biggest problem.

I ask people why they have deer heads on
their walls. They always say "because
it's such a beautiful animal." There you go.
I think my mother is attractive,
but I only have photographs of her.

A lady came up to me on the street and
pointed at my
suede jacket. 'You know a
cow was murdered for that jacket'? She
sneered. I replied in a psychotic tone,
"I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now
I'll have to kill you too!"

Why does Sea World have a seafood restaurant?
I'm halfway through my fish-burger
and I realize, "Oh my God.... I could be
eating a slow learner."

Women's Fantasy

Ask any man, and he will tell you that any woman's
ultimate fantasy is to have two men at once. While this has been
verified by a recent sociological study, it appears that most men do not
realize that in this fantasy, one is cooking and the other is
cleaning.

Lots of Love

Hello Gali,

They came from a dear friend. Glad you liked it! LOVED your one liners!!

Love and much needed laughter,
Auriel

My dear Galadriel,
The tears are streaming down my face from laughing..somehow I keep thinking about where the Grandmother got to! BIZARRE!
Thankyou for really making me LAUGH!

LOVE and BLESSINGS

Gali honey ... you've got me in splits ...

I bought some fridge magnets yesterday at Newbury Comics...

Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey...

If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what really throws you in a panic

If you ever reach total enlightenment while you're drinking a beer, I bet it makes beer shoot out your nose.

Somewhere I have a list of all the things that Bart Simpson would write on the chalkboard when he'd get in trouble since the show began. If I come across it, I'll put some up

Love and Laughs,

Carlo

Thanks for the Carlo!! Loved the beer one!

I know a wonderful woman who is having her second go round with fairly advanced breast cancer. She is a marvel!! She has been going through heavy chemotherapy and radiation and has lost her hair (temporarily).

Recently she told a group of us this story. She said she doesn't like to see her bald head, so she opens her medicine cabinet in the bathroom before she goes to bed. That way, if she gets up in the night to go to the bathroom, she won't have to see her (temporarily) bald head.

Well, one night when she got up to go to the bathroom she saw a horrifying sight in the hall!!! She was terrified when she saw a bald man ahead of her wearing her nightgown!!! It took her a moment or two to realize it was hers-elf!!

This lady is such a marvelous person. She strongly believes in the healing power of humor and talks about putting together a book of humor specifically for cancer patients!! How's that for an amazing idea!!

Which reminds me, one of the funniest books I've ever read was on the humor in pregnancy. I was about 8 months pregnant and just roared and roared!

Annie

Why is 6 afraid of 7??

Because 7 8 9!!!

What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?

WriteOn

P.S. Carlo, where is the Bart Simpson list?

Hi Write On,

It was in my car, and now it's not...I am pretty sure I didn't lose it though. I will keep looking, and if I can't find it, I should be able to get in touch with my friend who gave me the copy. He was in the middle of moving, so we'll see...it is funny though, it's a really long list. I will bring it here when I find it though

Blessings,

Carlo
