Nothing too serious:

  • If there really are superior beings out there, then why don't they have their own website? star
  • Being a week late for someone’s birthday is nothing. I was once an entire year late for someone’s birthday! He acted really happy that I remembered and got him a present, but I could tell on the inside he was crying.
  • Anyone who takes up a PhD has something fundamentally wrong with them.
  • Most people believe that, in order to do a PhD, one has to be exceptionally smart. Those, however, who have gone to university, realize that, to do a PhD, one has to be exceptionally mad.
  • Say this to a friend who is exercising or a gym instructor and keep a straight face: "so how's your work-out work working-out?".
  • The words "struggling" and "farmer" may as well be synonymous. Every time the word farmer appears in the newspaper he's complaining about something and asking for government compensation.
  • More words which are synonymous: "uni student" and "poor".
  • If time travel was possible, wouldn't people from the future have come to visit us? Or maybe this is just regarded as a particularly boring period of history.
  • If you keep your mouth shut, then you can't put your foot in it.
  • A liar should always have a good memory.... and for this reason (rather than high morals), I've always been honest.

  • The bus on the wheels go.... * son-of-a-bitch!
  • Wait on a minute; you're just a talking koala in a man suit! Fraud!
  • Eye protection is for wimps... the rest of us use sunglasses so we can perve without getting caught.
  • Send yourself flowers on secretary day, or something. Write something about how much I appreciate all your effort and then just bullshit for a while. You know the drill.

  • The actual speech of Martin Luther King: "Ladies and gentlemen. I had a dream!....... but I'd really rather not talk about it....... errr, mainly because it involves my bests friend's wife".

  • For the last time - just because I use two different colors of highlighter doesn't make me gay.

  • What females don't understand is that punching each other is a man's version of physical contact. Nature states that women are allowed to touch each other (and no man has ever objected to this). But if one man touches another mans arm it's like "What the f*ck was that!". So next time you see two blokes bashing the crap out of each other stop thinking "how crude" and start thinking "oh how sweet - they're bonding".
  • Wozer! That's one amazing story.... I must admit, the alarm clock has woken me up a few times, but it's never dragged me out of my bed.

  • I was once thinking about running for prime minister; but decided that running for cancer was a much worthier cause.
  • Whenever a friend is depressed about something there's always a piece of advice which never fails. It's one of the greatest secrets of life; and it all boils down to a strategy that will help you throughout life - it's called denial.

Serious:

  • People think your results in some written test define your intelligence. I disagree. There is no one defining form of intelligence. Book smarts, business smarts, street smarts and (most of all) emotional smarts are all contribute to your intelligence as a human. A man who knows how to get what he wants is clever. A man who gets the best grade in class is conscientious. But only the man who goes through most of his life happy has true wisdom. There is much more to life than getting good grades, and that's something no overachiever should ever forget.
  • If failure leads to experience then it's little wonder that ignorance is bliss.
  • Success means nothing unless you're having fun along the way.
  • "Free spirited" is a polite way of describing someone who can't handle responsibility in life.
  • To see both ends of the spectrum is to become a wiser man. To sit in the same world forever, and never venture, is to remain ignorant and perhaps gullible.
  • To truly appreciate the good life you must experience the bad life.
  • According to any teenager, the cinemas are a social event. You meet with lots of friends.... barely talk to each other; and then leave. But what is crucially important is the fact you were amidst a large group when people saw you.
  • The true way to define a terrific friend is when you smile spontaneously every time you see them, and suddenly your mood is lifted higher. A good friend can make you laugh. Anything less and you're friend is just ordinary.
  • How long do you expect to survive wearing your heart on your sleeve?
  • Everyone is in denial of something - some people even know what it is - but that doesn't change their denial.
  • You can't get a job without experience... but how do you get experience if you can't get a job?
  • All we want in life is to be appreciated by other people. And that's what we teach our children.
  • When you meet a person with a cheery disposition you often assume they're simple people - if they were the thinking variety what reason would they have to be happy?
  • The amount of time students waste in classrooms listening to the man up front is phenomenal. So many lecturers spend entire lessons pointing out the obvious (i.e. something you already knew or is basic commonsense), but getting kicks out of the fact he can word it much better than you can. The real question is: "what do you learn, when someone puts into an attractive sentence something you already knew". No matter what you study, certain subjects; certain academics are all bullshit and no substance.


Gibberish:

  • To cut a long story short; try using scissors. To get to the point; make sure you take the proper climbing equipment. At the end of the day, it becomes night - and, in a nutshell; you'll usually find a nut.
  • Is it not true, that answering a question with double negatives is not difficult?
  • What means justifies an end? -- Well, I believe "validates a finish" does.
  • You drive a hard billy-cart, paper sword bearing elderberrie. I salute your hamster.
  • All I wanted was a photo of the actress who looks like the chick I hardly know in Cairns.

by the way I have the copywrite on all of these........ and furthermore the whole thing about getting rejected never happened (honest).
