Post a funny or ironic saying.

Here is one I really like:
" I can tell if a person is judgmental just by looking at them."

I watched my cat slap the end of a string hanging from a window for 20 minutes. I thought ; thats an easily entertained cat.

@Infamous607 I love irony!!!

Let us begin with the Book of Yogi Proverbs. Brothers and sisters, remember:

"It ain’t over till it’s over."

"You can observe a lot by just watching."

"Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical."

"I knew the record would stand until it was broken."

"How can you think and hit at the same time?"

"You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you."

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

"In baseball, you don’t know nothing."

Ahhh Yogi, ya gotta love the guy. 🤣

@sstronaut Yogi Berra?
I'll admit this HAS to make sense because it's been around for so long but here goes - -

"There but for the grace of God go I"

Why does the speaker deserve God's grace but the other person doesn't?
@FreddieUK

How convenient, eh? Don't ask the deep questions of this supreme entity because you wouldn't understand the answers.
FreddieUK · 70-79, M
@rinkydinkydoink Oh no. I and many others ask lots of 'deep questions'. That's what an enquiring mind always will do. Sometimes there's even answers. I see somehow I deleted half a sentence before sending. I should have written 'the grace of God is undeserved etc...'

'Unfathomable' doesn't mean 'don't look', it just means that you might not get to the bottom of it.
@FreddieUK

Uh huh. To all of it.

''He who laughs last . . . pretends he got the joke.''
@LilMissAnonyMOUSE I think my mind was channeling partial memories of a litany of «Confucius say» jokes I must've heard while growing up, and in hindsight I can see how that could possibly be a little cringey, especially if delivered in a caricatured Chinese broken English accent, so I like what you envisioned instead, with him observing from a rock and reacting in different ways based on what he saw, that seems more authentic, very plausible, more humanized, and inoffensive 😊

If Confucius was too serious, and his humor streak was dry or subtle, we know less about the personality of his son, so we can use artistic license and imagine the son got the comic gene, forming a sort of yin and yang cycle between them 😊
@BlueGreenGrey Yes, I have seen those, some jokes are actually funny but yes, I guess they want to get into the character and not think that exaggerating accents could hurt feelings.

I think a wise man doesn't become one unless he is a well-rounded individual able to feel all kinds of emotions and understand them. I think what sets them apart is their having reached a high level of temperance, something common people like so many of us may have a hard time achieving. I have read he had a son, although I haven't come across much information about him. I'd like to think Confucius imparted his wisdom to his son and one of the ways to have a healthy frame of mind is by having a sense of humor...so I'm sure they had some good laughs together ☺
@LilMissAnonyMOUSE I agree with you on all of this and have always appreciated the broad perspective you have on all things 😊

Some are indeed funny, perhaps they are harmless in print, I feel like saying more but perhaps I need to save it for a post, I don't want to hijack anyone else's post 😊

Better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it.

@slorollin True.
