Will Rogers was funny. He was funny back
when. He is funny now. One can only wonder what his
thoughts on today's sports topics would be. Sadly Will
is not with us, but you are. Sports Lore has a forum
room, look at the home page upper left, and click on
forums. Will can't share his thoughts, but you can.
Certainly there are some things in sports that make
you shake your head. Please share them on the Sports
Lore Forum section.
For now a few thoughts from Will Rogers...
Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash
with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably the greatest political
sage this country has ever known. Enjoy the following:
- Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.
- Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.
- There are 2 theories to arguing with
a woman...neither works.
- Never miss a good chance to shut up.
- Always drink upstream from the herd.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a
whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.
- 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 is 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.
