How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The Skull of Montezuma

Tourist in museum: Whose skull is that one?

Museum guide: That is the skull of the Aztec emperor Montezuma.

Tourist in museum: Then whose skull is that small one beside it?

Museum guide: That is the skull of Montezuma when he was a baby.

Sesquipedalian Sayings

The stylus is more potent than the claymore.

Pulchritude possesses exclusively cutaneous profundity.

It is futile to attempt to indoctrinate a superannuated canine with innovative maneuvers.

The greatest of need is the maternal parent of the art of original contrivance.

A revolving lithic conglomerate accrues no lichen.

Everything is legitimate in matters pertaining to ardent affections and international armed conflicts.

The temperature of the aqueous content of a metallic receptacle under unremitting surveillance does not attain its level of evaporation.

Members of an avian species of identical plumage congregate.

Freedom from incrustations of grime is contiguous to rectitude.

It is fruitless to endure lacrimation over precipitately departed lacteal fluid.

Similar sire, similar scion.

Pulchritude reposes within the optic parameters of the perceiver.

Sorting on the part of mendicants must be interdicted.

Where there are visible emissions from carbonaceous materials, there exists conflagration.

Male cadavers are incapable of yielding any testimony.

Integrity is the superlative strategy.

A plethora of individuals with expertise in culinary techniques vitiate the potable concoction.

Eleemosynary deeds have their incipience domestically.

All articles that coruscate with resplendence are not, ipso facto, auriferous.

An addlepated individual and his specie divaricate with prematurity.

The ultimate entity of dried gramineous organism induces a rupture of the dorsal portion of the ship of the desert.

Hubris antedates a gravity-impelled descent.

Three quarters of a dozen individual movements by slender sewing instrument may be obviated by the utilization of a single, opportunistic thrust of said instrument.

Exclusive dedication to necessitous employment without interludes of hedonistic diversion renders John a hebetudinous young person.

Soft airs possess the potency to mitigate the anguish residual in the barbaric thorax.

Minuscule erudition jeopardizes security.

Consolidated we maintain ourselves erect; bifurcated we plummet.

A feathered biped in the terminal part of the arm equals the value of a brace of such creatures in densely branched shrubbery.

Persons deficient in judgment hasten to undertake that for which winged celestials hesitate to assume responsibility.

Individuals who make their abode in vitreous edifices of patent frangibility are advised to refrain from catapulting petrous projectiles.

I hope George Clooney dumps his wife so he and Brad Pitt can finally be happy together.

I admit opening an alligator petting zoo was not the best idea, but I told the kids to be careful so there's plenty of blame to go around.

Sorry I asked if your grandparents were part of the Halloween display at your house.

What if dogs are way smarter than we think and they just play dumb so they don’t have to work and pay taxes.

If I was Snow White you'd never be able to kill me with an apple...you'd have to poison an eclair or something.

What if Snow White just pretended to be asleep so she didn't have to clean up after little people anymore? Because that I totally get.

Tell me I'm beautiful
"You're beautiful"
Tell me I'm a genius
"You're a genius"
Tell m-
"Just give me the toilet paper, please”

I drink a glass of red wine a day for health benefits.
The other 7 glasses are just for me.

I said I was sorry three times looking in the mirror and now I'm in Canada.

I always get a "Yes" from women, but it's usually followed by "That's him, officer.”

The best thing about alcohol hand gel in hospitals isn't the hygiene, but that everyone walks around like they're hatching a dastardly plan.

"Sure, you could bury it but hear me out."
Taxidermy is invented.

FLOTUS is an unfortunate acronym, like something left in the toilet bowl.

I'm tired and want to sleep, but I can't stop imagining how the whole scenario of the first person to pee on a jellyfish sting went down.

Sorry I reported your newborn's pic on Facebook, but nudity is nudity.

So we're on for next Friday? Perfect. I'll call you Thursday to reschedule.

Do I just call you or should we resolve this quickly with 200 text messages?

"Do not iron" Like that was ever going to happen.

Just realized the laundry detergent has been in the refrigerator for 3 days, in case you're looking for a business manager.

[doing an identification at the coroner's office]
It's not her; my wife has a head.

Tonight playing poker with a buddy he said "Care to make this interesting?”
And I said "Sure. For years I've been secretly in love with you."

I learned two important lessons today. I can't remember the first lesson, but the second one is I have to start writing things down.

I just answered two Jeopardy questions in a row. This must be what Einstein must have felt like.

Turns out my date had a lot of pizzazz, not pizzas. I've never been more disappointed.

Didn't know which glass of beer was mine so I drank both. I'm a problem solver.

A missionary on a South Pacific island was walking with the village chief teaching him English.

As they passed a stream the missionary pointed and said to the chief, "Stream."

The chief looked and repeated, "Stream."

They walked a little further on the path and the missionary pointed to a bird and said, "Bird."

The chief looked and repeated, "Bird."

A little further down the path the missionary spotted a couple making love in the grass. Not really knowing what to say to the chief the missionary said, "Man riding bicycle."

The chief looked and pulled 2 blow darts out and shot both of them dead.

The missionary was horrified and asked the chief why he did it.

The chief replied, "Man riding *MY* bicycle!"
