25 Oct 10 - 11:37 AM (#3015020) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: Bill D There's some numbers missing.... I think there must be a universal truth about that. but # 87 covers a lot. |

25 Oct 10 - 11:47 AM (#3015033) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: Bill D Universal Truth # 119 Taste is in the tongue of the beholder. (Therefore the previous truth: Ketchup makes everything taste better, except Ketchup may not necessarily be true! |

25 Oct 10 - 12:00 PM (#3015043) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: Arthur_itus Just love this one LOL Universal Truth # 143 Big turds are both a blessing and a curse. Despite the initial discomfort, you feel immensely proud of it, only to realise that it would never be right to share this with anyone. The intensity of the pride/shame dilemma is in direct proportion to how much is above water. |

25 Oct 10 - 12:40 PM (#3015072) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: GUEST,Jon Not read this text but: A cat will "own" his/her master/mistress. Love them but they have ways... If you are feeling down and believe things always go round in threes and can count that far, you may need extra fingers. |

25 Oct 10 - 12:44 PM (#3015078) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: Ebbie Never react to someone's action- that's the one who always gets caught. I liked these especially (Bill, I noted #87 and knew it would be yours.:) Universal Truth #87 Blind compliance or compulsive non-compliance of anything are like the two sides of the same coin due to ignorance. Universal Truth # 136 We all believe the Truth we perceive, but we only perceive the Truth we believe. Universal Truth # 163 If Ignorance is Bliss, there should be more happy people. |

25 Oct 10 - 12:45 PM (#3015079) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: Ebbie "Never react to someone's action- that's the one who always gets caught." A better summary: Never hit back- you'll be the one who gets caught. |

25 Oct 10 - 01:07 PM (#3015098) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: Little Hawk The wisest and bravest thing you can ever do is forgive. Forgive your parents. Forgive others. Forgive yourself. (I didn't get that one off the list.) |

25 Oct 10 - 01:42 PM (#3015133) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: GUEST,Jon Forgiveness is easy to me - or is it. It's logical according to the text I read - forgive others and god will forgive you. It's a no brainer really - forgive. But if I was to say to myself that today I will forgive LH (not that I believe I've anything to forgive you for), there would be a thread later where I would fall out with LH, perhaps something else crops up (I can not explain but) getting drawn back here after my first "resignation" and a trip to Yorkshire. Perhaps the reasons for scrapping the Annexe. Something "demonic" always seems to get in the way of what should be simple. |

25 Oct 10 - 01:48 PM (#3015140) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: Bill D Yes, Ebbie... #87 is almost TOO good. There are others also.... (I do tend to linger over the serious ones, although just cute & clever ones about cats & such are fun.) |

26 Oct 10 - 12:49 AM (#3015483) Subject: RE: BS: Universal Truths From: dick greenhaus I think that last was S.J. Perelman. His other two were "Never eat in a restaurant called Mom's" and "Never sleep with anyone crazier than you." |

Me too Ebbie! Universal Truth # 10 The truth is no one knows the truth. How do we know if this is true or not? |
