what does mick have to do with a burning pizza?

It's always better to have loved because next time you love again you won't be a noob and make the same mistakes.
 
Alright, I just thought of one...

Wasn't until maybe high school that I realized that Tina Turner wasn't singing "Whats love, cockadoo, cockadoo..."

Even though I lover her to death; Mother doesn't always know best.

Maybe I should have not been homeschooled.

Life long friends will dump you in favor of new friends.

Never let other people's opinions keep you from finding the TRUTH.

Things change and you can't do a darn thing about it but get over it and wait for your turn to die.

It depends on the car, I guess.

Depressing the button in my Dad's Camry turns it on.

tortilla chips are made by frying cut tortillas...

If someone tells you that they were the victim of a crime, and then they die, anything you say about the crime they were the victim of is considered hearsay, is inadmisable in court, and cannot be used by anyone to start an investigation, get a warrant, or otherwise prosecute or sue anyone.

UHHH.. You guys know what overdrive is right? It's anything PAST 3rd gear.... Anything past 3rd gear is past the reduction or 1:1 engine to gearing ratio. The overdrive button only applies to older automatics without a good double planetary gearset and slip cluthes that allow you to go to 4th or 5th gear automatically.

For awhile AFTER they added 4th and 5th gears for autos, they still had that stupid button to disable them. Why? Because usually on those cars, you had Park, Neutral, and Drive. No selection for 1, 2, or 3 to do engine breaking.
 
i have a big penis. hard to know when "big" is a relative term and "average" isn't posted on billboards. didn't find out til 9th grade playing hangman. lol

 
That figuring out how you're going to spend 100% of your income into the forseeable future is not an effective budget.

Most women who don't understand money never will

Going to all that work applying for $500 scholarships is actually worth it (my sister did, I didn't....)

There's never a better time in your life than High-School.

Working for a public company is a guarantee that you are considered an "expense" that in some way needs to be reduced.

Working for anyone else will never make you (okay, me) happy.

terminal velocity for a human body is approx. 138mph IIRC.

Are you sure abut that speed? and at what altitute, because people have passed the sound barrier before, albiet falling from the outter atmosphere, and live to tell about it. Dont believe me? 2 things to think about, the first person to reach near-outterspace used huge helium balloons to float high up something, like 10 miles (more?) up and then jump off. Because there is so little resistance, they can reach much higher speeds. And wouldnt the angle the person falls at raise or lower their speed (think parachute), couldnt you use your arms, to point down, as a aerodynamic improvement and fall faster?

anyways


Fat chicks look much skinnier after 15-20 shots, nuf said.

Sh!t happens when your naked.

Careful what you do, girls gossip about everything, yes everything.

That is correct, which is WHY my toyota land cruiser doesn't have an overdrive button IIRC because it has the selection for 1,2,3 and D (which is 4 and IIRC it's only 4 speed). My lexus LS400 DOES have an overdrive button because it's got selection for 1,2, and D, no 3...

I'm sure there are things that I wish I had learned sooner but I can't think of them at the moment.. Though one I can think of is drinking water instead of juice/softdrinks makes you eat less and you lose weight a lot faster.
