EARLY AMERICAN HUMOR

Having just completed a blog on radio humor of the 40's, an e-mail was received listing the humor of Will Rogers, the subject of previous blogs.

Here are some of my favorite Will Rogers quotes:

There are two theories to arguing with a woman - neither works.

If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.

Never miss a chance to shut up.

There are three kinds of men:

The ones who learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them who have to pee on the electric fence
and find out for themselves.

Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

If you're riding ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

Senior Humor:

When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth - think of Algebra.

Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

I don't know how I got 'over the hill' without getting to the top.

And, one of my favorites:

Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Now, it's called golf.

A closing thought - especially appropriate for this old blogger:

After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

The moral: When you're full of bull - keep your mouth shut.

Stay well.
