Deep Thoughts
by Jack Handey (SNL)
- Before criticizing someone, walk
a mile in their shoes. Then, when you do criticize them, you will be a
mile away and they can't hear you.
- If a kid asks where rain comes
from, I think a cute thing to tell him is, "God is crying." And
if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is, "Probably
because of something you did."
- If you ever catch on fire, try
to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror because I bet that's what REALLY
throws you into a panic.
- It's easy to sit there and say
you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it.
It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money.
- If you ever drop your keys into
a river of molten lava, let go, because they're gone, man. They're gone.
- If trees could scream, would we
be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all
the time, for no good reason.
- To me, it's a good idea to always
carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody
says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry,
got these sacks."
- The face of a child can say it
all, especially the mouth part of the face.
- Whenever I see an old lady slip
and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think,
what if I was an ant and she fell on me? Then it wouldn't seem quite so
funny.
- To me, boxing is like a ballet,
except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.
- I hope if dogs ever take over the
world and they choose a king, they don't just go by size because I bet
there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
- Maybe in order to understand mankind
we have to look at thatword itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of
two separate words "mank" and "ind." What do these
words mean? It's a mystery and so is mankind.
- If you go flying back through time
and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably
best to avoid eye contact.
- As the light changed from red to
green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life.
Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed
that way.
- I can picture in my mind a world
without war, a world withouthate. And I can picture us attacking that world
because they'd never expect it.
- 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.
- Instead of a trap door, what about
a trap window? The guylooks out it, and if he leans too far, he falls out.
Wait--I guess that's like a regular window.
- During the Middle Ages, probably
one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were
"just going down tothe corner."
Ok ya gotta admit that some of these
are really funny...
