About Death…
I’ll give it to you in a nutshell.
I don’t wanna be buried.
I don’t wanna be cremated.
I don’t wanna be frozen.
I don’t wanna die!
About the economy…
I hear folks saying we’re in a ‘down’ economy.
The economy is not bad – not bad at all.
There will always be people out-of-work. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad economy.
There will always be folks without a place to live. That’s still not the sign of a bad economy.
When the economy is bad, and I mean ‘really really’ bad, the food supplies becomes so scarce, rats sit in the window and cry.
That’s a sure sign of a bad economy.
About the property tax…
I’ll tell you one thing…the man sure knows how to stick it to you.
I own my home – paid for it years ago. So if I no longer pay a mortgage on that pile of bricks standing over there, why am I having to pay tax for something I bought before the taxman was born? It’s like having to continually pay tax for that pack of cigarettes I bought in 1959. You don’t keep taxing me if I own it!
About the west coast’s obsession with beauty over brains…
If you throw a rock into a group of forty people in California it wont land on anybody with gray hair. If you throw that same rock anywhere else in this country, the gray hairs will examine it and analyze you for throwin’ it.
About entrepreneurs…
You can call it whatever you want. But everybody who wants to go into business should do it in California. Those folks don’t spend money on smart. They spend money on pretty. If you tell ‘em they’ll lose weight with your product, they’ll look pretty with your product or better yet, they’ll look ten years younger, you’ll make a million dollars in a year. That ‘ten years younger’ line gets ‘em every time. Stick those three words on your label – no matter what you’re selling, and those folks will throw their money at you.
What? You don’t believe me?
Put some jelly in a jar, stick Ten Years Younger on the label, sit back and wait.
Call me in a year.
