Taking a Snake for a Walk

Jan 19th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

A man was arrested for taking his 14-foot pet python for a walk.

The python was wrapped around his body.

A passing SPCA officer, called him in.

Who’d a thought that an SPCA officer would be out and about while you walk your snake?

The man is in jail on charges of animal cruelty and failure to protect the public against dangerous wildlife.

In the meantime, the snake must take its walks alone.

Some of the best lessons I have learned in life come from people I never met.

I would like to share some of the ‘words of wisdom’ that I have picked up over the years.

Benjamin Franklin said: 

Wise men don’t need advice. Fools won’t take it.

(I tried long ago to accept the wisdom of people I respected so I wouldn’t have to learn life’s lessons over again, and instead learn some new lessons of my own.) ben.franklin.jpg

Bewareof little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

(My wife is still trying to teach me this.) 

The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.

(sometimes we need to listen to our heart) 

He was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on.

(hah! always learning but never knowing the truth is how the Bible puts it.) 

If a man could have his wishes, he would double his troubles.

(What do you wish for?) 

What’s your favorite quote? and why?
