  • If at first you don't succeed.............get new batteries.

  •  

  • When the blind lead the blind.....run and get out of the way

  • Laugh and the whole world laughs with you, cry and...........you have to blow your nose.

  • Neurotics build castles in the air. Psychotics live in them. Psychiatrists charge the rent.

  • Living with a conscience is like driving a car with the brakes on.

  • Etc. = A sign to make others believe that you know more than you actually do.

  • Tears = The hydraulic force by which masculine will-power is defeated by feminine water-power.

  • There are three kinds of people: Those who can count and those who can't.

  • I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

  • I don't find it hard to meet my expenses. They are everywhere.

  • A girl phoned me one day and said "Come over, there's nobody home." I went over, nobody was home!

  • How come 'abbreviated' is such a long word?

  • Regular naps prevent old age... especially if you take them while driving.

  • I believe we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried, but they wanted money.

  • The wise never marry, and when they marry they become otherwise.

  • Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is wife!

  • Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without... but whatever you do, you'll regret it later.

  • It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.
  •  

  • A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school uniforms.

  • Having one child makes you a parent; having two, you are a referee.

  • True friends stab you in the front.

  • Forgiveness is giving up my right to hate you for hurting me.

  • Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.

  • Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

  • Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.

  • Real friends are the ones who survive transitions between address books.

  • Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.

  • Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something.

  • I used to eat a lot of natural foods, until I learnt that most people die of natural causes.

  • Sending out a compilation of thoughts, sayings, proverbs, quips, witticisms, wisecracks, quotations, jokes, puns and other forms of humour has been our way of wishing you a happy new year, for decades. The practice continues, although the passing away of Riaz Syed, my brother and my inspiration, on the 24th of September 2007, is a loss that I still find unbearable. But I am sure he would have wanted me to carry on this tradition. Both of us felt rewarded when many of you conveyed to us that you looked forward to receiving these greetings every year, and actually preserved them over the years. I hope you enjoy this effort too. So continuing our tradition, I am sending these thoughts for OT readers to keep company for this year- Siraj Syed
