Puns from Bob

 

Those who jump off a bridge in Paris are in Seine.

The man who fell into an upholstery machine is now fully recovered.
 
You feel stuck with your debt if you can't budge it.
 
Local Area Network in Australia - the LAN down under.
 
Every calendar's days are numbered.
 
A lot of money is tainted - taint yours and taint mine.

Quotes

Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future. Niels Bohr ************************* Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite. John Kenneth Galbraith ************************* There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves. Will Rogers ************************* No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. Heraclitus *************************** I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things. Henri Matisse ************************** In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot. Czesław Miłosz
