Hey, I really like the quote in your signature

If I had a wife like that, she better be: 1. Very rich, 2. Extremely good looking, or 3. the last woman on earth. Life is too short to live like that.

As for my signature, Will Rogers said it, but I've lived it!

I like several of Ronald Reagan's quotes some I shouldn't post, I guess.

"Who wants to live forever?"

I yelled that once before starting down a ski slope too steep for my skill level. I had a very embarrassing crash a few seconds later.

"That's what she said."

It never gets old.

"She talks too much."

Sometimes sayings do get old.

"Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

"Nothing is ever 'easy.'"

"Not gay, just needed the money."

That one usually raises some eyebrows.

"No thanks, I only smoke crack."

Always a show stopper. LOL. I was once chatting with several police officers and one offered me a cigarette. I replied with the above quote. That got everyone's attention!
