The Wisdom of Will Rogers

will rogers

Will Rogers was a comedian and actor from the early part of the Twentieth Century.  Before becoming a stage personality, he had actually been a cowboy – some of his act involved lasso tricks!

Will
Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash, was one of the
greatest
political sages this country has ever known. 
Some of his sayings:
1.
Never slap a man
who’s chewing tobacco.
2.
Never kick a cow
chip on a hot day.
3.
There are two
theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.
4.
Never miss a good
chance to shut up.
5.
Always drink
upstream from the herd.
6.
If you find
yourself in a hole, stop digging.
7.
The quickest way
to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.
8.
There are three
kinds of men:
The
ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them
have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.
9.
Good judgment
comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
10.
If you’re riding’
ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still
there.
11.
Lettin’ the cat
outta the bag is a whole lot easier’n puttin’ it back.
12.
After eating an
entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he 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.
ABOUT
GROWING OLDER… 
First
~
Eventually you
will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about
it.
Second
~
The older we get,
the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for. 
Third
~
Some people try to
turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know ‘why’ I look this way.
I’ve
traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren’t paved.
Fourth
~
When you are
dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth
~
You know you are
getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
Sixth
~
I don’t know how I
got over the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh
~
One of the many
things no one tells you about aging is that it’s such a nice change from being
young.
Eighth
~
One must wait
until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth
~
Being young is
beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
Tenth
~
Long ago, when men
cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft.
Today
it’s called golf.

And,
finally ~
If you don’t learn
to laugh at trouble, you won’t have anything to laugh at when you’re old.

In Local News…

I’m saddened to report that local radio news personality, famous for 40 years, Bill Heywood, and his wife Susan, were found in a Scottsdale hotel room, together, deceased.
It appears that Susan had some sort of terminal illness, and this was a murder/suicide situation.  A note was left on the door advising there would be dead bodies found inside.
Bill Heywood had been a fixture in Valley radio at KOY, KTAR and KFYI radio.
He is much beloved by his many fans.
(UPDATED NEWS REPORTS THIS AS A PLANNED DOUBLE SUICIDE)
RIP Bill and Susan.

The Four Rules

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

FEAR

"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - Bene Gesserit, from Frank Herbert's Dune

“F**k Civility. Hyperbole, passion, and metaphor are beautiful parts of rhetoric. The marketplace of ideas cannot be toned down for the insane.” - Penn Jillette
