College Graduation Quotes

Posted on May 17, 2013 by Gay Gasser

Know someone who is graduating from college this year? Not only will they be getting a nice diploma but they’ll be getting lots of advice. Here’s some pearls of wisdom I thought were particularly appropriate:

  • To those of you who received honors, awards and distinctions, I say well done. And to Bradford College Graduationthe C students, I say you too may one day be president of the United States. George W.Bush
  • Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else’s path unless you’re in the woods and you’re lost and you see a path then by all means you should follow that. Ellen DeGeneres
  • The unfortunate, yet truly exciting, thing about your life is that there is no core curriculum. The entire place is an elective. Jon Stewart
  • A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that “individuality” is the key to success. Robert Orben
  • Commencement speeches were invented largely in the belief that outgoing college students should never be released into the world until they have been properly sedated. Garry B. Trudeau
  • There is a good reason they call these ceremonies ‘commencement exercises’. Graduation is not the end; it’s the beginning.  Orrin Hatch

Erma Bombeck- Oh Mother!

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Gay Gasser

Erma Bombeck always saw the humor in the everyday mishaps of family life! Car Window

  • Never have more children than you have car windows.
  • All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.
  • One thing they never tell you about child raising is that for the rest of your life, at the drop of a hat, you are expected to know your child’s name and how old he or she is.
  • Most women put off entertaining until the kids are grown.
  • In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn’t danced on television.
  • Who in their infinite wisdom decreed that Little League uniforms be white? Certainly not a mother.

Italian Mob Indicted in Weather Fixing Scandal

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Gay Gasser

Venice, Italy

Arrest warrants have been issued for the head of the Italian Bureau of Tourism (IBT)Weather Symbols along with the capos of a little known arm of the Italian mafia, Tempo Nostro, for weather fixing. Suspicions arose when several tourists noticed an ubiquitous smiling sun in the weather forecast for Venice 365 days in a row.

A Class Action lawsuit has been started by a group of 20 litigious honeymooners. One bride spoke through her tears,” If we had known that there would be rain in Italy we would have never chosen it as our honeymoon destination. I feel betrayed and defiled”.

Attorneys for the Italian Bureau of Tourism claim they were not aware of the “glitch” in weather reporting. An unnamed Venetian metrological station employee offered a simple explanation, “The Woman in Venice smokingperson who had been changing the weather icon from clouds to sun to rain died. Due to lack of funding, no one bothered to replace him”.

The IBT is being charged with “staging fair weather for financial gain”. The Tempo Nostro kingpins will be charged with Mafia association as well as threats to weathermen.
