Some thoughts on getting older
So I was thinking about being older today, and I saw this Louis CK clip about how older people are smarter - "Older people are smarter, and if you get into an argument with someone who's older, you should listen.

Great Paraprosdokians, Batman!
I saw this thread on Reddit and thought I'd make a list of my favourite Paraprosdokian expressions.
- "If we hit that bullseye the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards."
- "I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong."
- "I'll burn that bridge when I get to it."

Great Quote
I read the following quote at "The price of everything" blog:
“You couldn’t get a clue during the clue mating season in a field full of horny clues if you smeared your body with clue musk and did the clue mating dance.” – Edward Flaherty.
I can't wait to find someone to insult.
