If my eyes are empty sockets, then why do they itch?


Sometimes life gives you lemons. That's when you need to take hold of an opportunity and make some lemonade out of those suckers- not to drink, but to pour on the open wounds of those people that bug the crap out of you. It's the gift that keeps on giving, because those screams of pain and the howling misery that follows will be just the thing to perk up your day and put a little lift in your lurch.

Challenge is just life's way of keeping you mentally fit. If everything was easy then everyone would end up a lazy ball of flesh that does nothing but grin like an idiot and drool. Sounds like fun, but after a few days it gets old. An active brain leads to an interesting life. Even more important, an active brain is a delicious thing for those of us who lead an interesting un-life.

Food for thought. *snicker*

Zombie Santa was very clever even as a boy. His teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Zombie Santa happened to break this cup and was greatly perplexed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Zombie Santa asked: "Why do people have to die?"

Zombie Santa, producing the shattered cup, added: "It was time for your cup to die."
