BS: Food For Thought

I thought I'd start a thread called "Food For Thought." I didn't find
it in the forum history.

When I am right, no one remembers. When I am wrong, no one forgets.
- Elizabeth Arden.

This thread was inspired by a section in the newspaper.

Don't be the first one to say something- it is the second one who gets quoted.

"Which came first the chicken or the egg?"

Okay. There were definitely eggs in the world long before there ever were any chickens. Fish and dinosaurs and other creatures produced eggs long before chickens existed at all.

Or were you asking about a specific chicken and a specific egg? ;-) If so, which chicken, which egg, and in what order?

Another one was: "We usually vote against somebody rather than vote for
somebody." I don't remember which politician said it, though.

Eggs came first, then evolution created the chickens. Good answer.

A chicken and an egg had sex. After wards the chicken said, "Well, I guess we answered that old question."

There is no wholly satisfactory substitute for brains, but silence does pretty well.

Don't know who said it or if it is part of a quote. Wish I lived by this rule more. Open mouth engage stupid gene.

A favorite retort among a fair few popular kids (of which i was decidedly not) when I was in junior high school

"I am not conceited.
Conceit is a fault.
I have no faults.
Therefore I am not conceited."


On the back of my chair when I was an editor (read copy/paste monkey) for United States Federal Code

"Do not disturb. I am disturbed enough already."

My grandson says, "Hey, Mama."

I tell him hay is for horses and I am not a horse. (My mom or sisters used to say that.)

If one of us said, "Well..." my mom would quip "It's a deep subject!"

My mother's response to "hey" was "Straw is cheaper, grass is free, horses and cattle eat all three".

Not sure why, but my Mom used to always tell us that.
