To Wit: Some Wit

"Pogo" comic strip by Walt Kelly
The following witticisms can be found all over the web, and some of them have probably appeared here also. My apologies if you've seen them before - and if you have, feel free to enjoy them again!

Those who drink to drown their sorrows should be told that sorrows know how to swim.

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.

Love isn't only blind, it's also deaf, dumb, and stupid.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

When bosses talk about improving productivity, they are never talking about themselves.

I doubt, therefore I might be.

You cannot achieve the impossible without attempting the absurd.

Love them all and especially the gene pool needing some chlorine.

Have a terrific day and weekend. :)

I've seen some, but some are new, or at least my memory tells me they are new. Quite enjoyable.

I always loved Pogo. Kelly did have a way with words and the pen for drawing.

I do appreciate your wit. Thanks for sharing.

Yep, that ol' gene pool could use some ph balancing.

Jack,

Walt Kelly was one of the first and best at mixing political satire into his comic strip.
