A Great Man with an unusually wise sense of humor.\n<\/p>\n
Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably the greatest political sage this country has ever known. Enjoy the following:
\n\n<\/p>\n
1. Never slap a man who’s chewing tobacco.\n<\/p>\n
2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.\n<\/p>\n
3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman…neither works.\n<\/p>\n
4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.\n<\/p>\n
5. Always drink upstream from the herd.\n<\/p>\n
6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.\n<\/p>\n
7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.\n<\/p>\n
8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.\n<\/p>\n
9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.\n<\/p>\n
10. If you’re riding’ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there.\n<\/p>\n
11. Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier’n puttin’ it back.\n<\/p>\n
12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your mouth shut.\n<\/p>\n

ABOUT GROWING OLDER… First<\/strong> – Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.\n<\/p>\n Second – <\/strong>The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.\n<\/p>\n Third<\/strong> – Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know “why” I look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.\n<\/p>\n Fourth – <\/strong>When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.\n<\/p>\n Fifth<\/strong> – You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.\n<\/p>\n Sixth<\/strong> – I don’t know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.\n<\/p>\n Seventh – <\/strong>One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.\n<\/p>\n Eighth<\/strong> – One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.\n<\/p>\n Ninth<\/strong> – Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.\n<\/p>\n Tenth<\/strong> – Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it’s called golf\n<\/p>\n And finally<\/strong> – If you don’t learn to laugh at trouble, you won’t have anything to laugh at when you are old.\n<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \n\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Great Man with an unusually wise sense of humor.
