*Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation towards the local swimming pool, so I gave him a glass of water.

*Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

*I'm great at multitasking, I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at once.

*If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

*Hospitality is the art of making guests feel like they're at home when you wish they were.

*Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

*I was going to wear my camouflage shirt today, but I couldn't find it.

*If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
