Your Daily Moment of Zen
(Slightly modified expressions to reflect contemporary wisdom):
The most wasted day of all is one in which we have not laughed.
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just leave me the hell alone.

(Slightly modified expressions to reflect contemporary wisdom):
The most wasted day of all is one in which we have not laughed.
1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just leave me the hell alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire.
3. It\'s always darkest before dawn. So if you\'re going to steal your neighbor\'s newspaper, that\'s the time to do it.
4. Sex is like air. It\'s not important unless you aren\'t getting any.
5. Don\'t be irreplaceable. If you can\'t be replaced, you can\'t be promoted.
6. No one is listening until you fart.
7. Always remember you\'re unique. Just like everyone else.
8. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
9. If you think nobody cares if you\'re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticize them, you\'re a mile away and you have their shoes.
11. If at first you don\'t succeed, skydiving is not for you.
12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
13. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
14. If you tell the truth, you don\'t have to remember anything.
15. Some days you are the bug; some days you are the windshield.
16. Don\'t worry; it only seems kinky the first time.
17. Good judgment comes from bad experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
18. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.
19. A closed mouth gathers no food.
20. Duct tape is like The Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.
21. There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works.
22. Generally speaking, you aren\'t learning much when your lips are moving.
23. Experience is something you don\'t get until just after you need it.
24. Never miss a good chance to shut up.
25. We are born naked, wet, and hungry, and get slapped on our ass ... then things get worse.

I actually believe that one goes for women... It shows how poor men\'s mentality is that they can only come up with 2! ways/methods... Ahhhhh, creativity, I miss you!
Good one, Pepelu!!

[quote] First walk a mile in our shoes, before...? [quote]
LOL! As soon as you learn how to walk in my shoes (high heels)... That reminds me of a lovely anecdote about Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. He was being hailed as the best dancer in the world, and basically she just said that she did the same, on high heels, and backwards... For a good portrayal of men walking in women\'s shoes, I recommend \"Some Like It Hot\" (Con faldas y a lo loco). It\'s simply hilarious!

Acepto, ante vosotras, no por feminismo ni machismo que generalmente: teneis la razón. Soy un hombre feminista según me definieron en un congreso de mujeres feministas donde los únicos hombres en la sala eran los dos de sonido y yo. Interpretación memorable
Por vosotras:
Si me pidieran concentrar toda la belleza del mundo en una sola imagen, no vacilaría: Un rostro de mujer
Las mujeres son las que merecen respeto hagan lo que hagan, porque son las únicas capaces de dominar al hombre.
Ahora esperemos a mis colegas hombres...la guerra entre sexos está servida ... je je je
Besos a todas pero a una de vosotras...uno grandototote

Pilar,
No se debe sucumbir ante la verdad sino digerirla, aceptarla y aplicarla en beneficio de los demás. Ya dará la vuelta o pendulará en nuestra dirección y nos \'pagará\' con creces.
Ya te contaré en Madrid si nos vemos....

No sé qué pasa con mis respuestas hoy, que no aparecen Simplemente quería decirte gracias por alegrarme el día, con o sin el nº 21 (que después de tus aclaraciones ya se te puede perdonar todo). Que me siento con fuerzas renovadas para ir por el mundo después de leer las sabidurías tuyas y de Aurora
