If they ever come up with a swashbuckling School,
I think one of the courses should be
Laughing, Then Jumping Off Something.
and who could forget
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said. "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down, he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
and my all time favorite
It takes a big man to cry,
but it takes a bigger man
to laugh at that man.

yes. finally something i know!
Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.
To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad.
Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someones neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing.
Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what is I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.
and one more. Cuz there are so many it ownt ruin things...
I wish outer space guys would conquer the Earth and make people their pets, because I'd like to have one of those little beds with my name on it.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did.
and
Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.
and
I can still recall old Mister Barnslow getting out every morning and nailing a fresh load of tadpoles to the old board of his. Then he'd spin it round and round, like a wheel of fortune, and no matter where it stopped he'd yell out, "Tadpoles! Tadpoles is a winner!" We all thought he was crazy. But then we had some growing up to do.

Love this thread, Siren!
I wish I had a Kryptonite cross, because then you could keep both Dracula AND Superman away.
and
Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.
and
I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they chose a king, they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some
Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
