DEEP THOUGHTS by Jack Handy

* Before criticizing someone, walk a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticize them, you will be a mile away and have their shoes.

* I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.

* If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a panic.

* During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were "just going around the corner."

* When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call the police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and started wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns.

* Broken promises don't upset me. I just think: why did they believe me?

* For mad scientists who keep brains in jars, here's a tip: why not add a slice of lemon to each jar, for freshness?

* I'd like to see a nature film where an eagle swoops down and pulls a fish out of a lake, and then maybe he's flying along, low to the ground, and the fish pulls a worm out of the ground. Now that's a documentary.

* I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money."
