ON THE LIGHTER SIDE – “ONE LINERS”

The closest I ever got to a 4.0 in college was my blood alcohol content.

Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them.

If God had intended for man to use the metric system, Jesus would have only had ten disciples!

I have learned there is little difference in wives - you might as well keep the first.

If life deals you lemons, make lemonade; if it deals you tomatoes, make Bloody-Marys.

I am a nobody, nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

Every day I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

The most precious thing we have is life. Yet it has absolutely no trade-in value.

I don't approve of political jokes...I've seen too many of them get elected.

If women can have PMS, then men can have ESPN.

Below is the approved Budget for 2009
