Ever wonder…

How is it that a pizza can get to your house faster than an ambulance?

Remember when I talked about the stress level going up at work? First Dave left. Then I moved into his office. Now Thomas (the new guy) has moved into my old office. I’m still very uncomfortable being the senior-most guy. Now, if Thomas has any problems or questions, I’m the guy who must come up with the answer. Can you tell my confidence level is being put to the test?

Anyway. Enough whining. Here’s this week’s white board quip.

Constant change is here to stay.

I like music. Especially, you know, the kind you listen to.

It’s the first day of school for most of the kids I know (including my wife). Back to the old grind. And in my life, that has a double meaning because I drive right past Grapevine High School on my commute. In the summer time, I breeze past it without a second thought. When school’s in session, however, it’s a 10 minute, bumper to bumper grind.

Okay, enough whining. Here’s this week’s white board quip.

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

I’m a bit of a germaphobe. I get pretty freaked out in drug stores when I know that 90% of the people who have touched things in there are just dripping with disease. Okay, maybe I’m more than “a bit” of a germaphobe. Anyway, here’s this week’s white board quip. Now I have to go wash my hands.

Why do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front?

Last week’s quip had to do with fighting and ugly people. This weeks is similar.

Every fight is a food fight if you’re a cannibal.

I will be out of town all next week on my annual middle school mission trip. So, I’m updating my quip of the week a tad early. This quip has some good simple wisdom in it, so take note, young readers. Listen and learn… Or… Read and … something that starts with “R” and means learn.

Never pick a fight with an ugly person. They’ve got nothing to lose.

In case you were starting to feel optimistic about the people around you…

Half the people you know are below average.

I spent a lot of time in the Texas heat this weekend. (Actually, it’s been pretty nice for this time of year.) Between the annual Alt-N boat party and a long day at Six-Flags, I got more than a healthy dose of sun. Thank goodness for sunscreen! But what about sunscreen for my hair?!

How is it that the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to White Board Quip of the Week #100. There have been far more than 100 weeks since I began this cultural phenomenon, but let’s not quibble over the details.

Waaay back in October of 2004 I posted this first White Board Quip on my blog.

If God had meant people to run around naked, they’d be born that way!

Now since that was WBQotW #1, it can’t really be recycled into WBQotW #100. So, what quip should it be? I’ve poured over my entire quip database looking for just the right quip. I’ve decided to honor one of White Board Quip’s biggest fans.

Even though he doesn’t have a blog, and seldom visits my site, Arron Caruth never misses a chance to drop by my office and read the quip right off my white board. So, Arron, this one’s for you.

I don’t know if I’m too good for hot dogs or if hot dogs are too good for me.
