Sayings of Confusius - email from jksw

Confucius Says ... Confucius Say: It's OK to let a fool kiss you; but don't let a kiss fool you. Confucius Say: Man with a broken condom is called a Daddy. Confucius Say: Man who mix Viagra and Ex-Lax doesn't know if he's coming or going. Confucius Say: A drunken man's words are a sober man's thoughts. . Confucius Say: Viagra is like Disneyland ... A one-hour wait for a 2-minute ride.  Confucius Say: A joke is like sex. Neither is any good if you don't get it.

 Reminds me of our medical college days. Anyone who muddled up a topic in a group discussion of a medical problem was labelled a Confusius. Then there were quite a few novels written in the USA where 'Confusius says' became a place for jokes.

[1]

Regular naps prevent old age,

especially if you take them while driving.

[2]

Having one child makes you a parent;

having two makes you  a referee.

[3]

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right;

and the other is the husband!

[4]

I believe we should all pay our tax with a smile.

I tried - but they wanted cash.

[5]

Marriage is give and take. 

You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway.

[6]

My wife and I always compromise.

I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.

[7]

It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job,

he still ends up with the same boss.

[8]

Saving is the best thing.

Especially when your parents have done it for you.

[9]

Wise men talk because they have something to say;

fools talk because they feel they have to say something.

[10]

They call our language the mother tongue because the 

father seldom 

gets to speak!

[11]

Man : Is there any way for long life ?

Dr. : Get married.

Man : Will it help 

Dr : No , but then the thought of long life will never occur.

[12]

Why do couples hold hands during their wedding ?

It's a formality just like two boxers shaking hands  

before the fight begins !

[13]

Wife: Darling today is our anniversary, what should we do ?

 Husband: Let us stand in silence for 2 minutes.

[14]

It's funny when people discuss: Love Marriage vs Arranged marriage.

It's like asking someone, if suicide is better or being murdered.

[15]

There is only one perfect child in the world and every mother has it.
