Strange Quotes About 'Attitude'

Eccentricity is not, as dull people would have us believe, a form of madness. It is often a kind of innocent pride, and the man of genius and the aristocrat are frequently regarded as eccentrics because genius and aristocrat are entirely unafraid of and uninfluenced by the opinions and vagaries of the crowd. - Edith Sitwell (1887 - 1964), Taken Care Of ,1965

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. - Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true. - James Branch Cabell (1879 - 1958), The Silver Stallion, 1926

The point of living and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come. - Peter Ustinov (1921 - 2004)

Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go much further than people with vastly superior talent. - Sophia Loren (1934 - )

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Irrational People

As Freddie Woo so succinctly puts it, "I'm

having to drive 500 miles to pick up my son

from the ex's house because she won't let him

take the train in case he gets off at the wrong

station. He's 19 years old and has A-Levels."

Read on for more crazy unreasoning:

http://b3ta.com/questions/irrationalpeople

* MOON - "I discovered that one of my work-mates

was one of these deluded moon-landings-were-faked

fools. He was also someone who was interested

in an intellectual debate over a couple of

beers, so I told him to gather any supposed

evidence he could find, so I could point out

why it was invalid.

"He duly turned up at the pub with some

printouts from a website with all the usual

cliches - no stars (chuckle), flag waving

(chortle), wrong shadow directions (guffaw).

But it quickly became apparent that this was

something different, and far stranger. The

website he'd found was claiming, apparently

seriously, that the Moon itself didn't

actually exist. The fact that we think we can

see it in the sky was an illusion, a

conspiracy perpetrated by the shadowy powers

that control our lives.

"Yes, the Moon is a hoax. Clearly we can't

have landed on it, since it doesn't exist. I

have to admit that I found it hard to know

where to start with my rebuttal..."

(moon monkey)

* BUFFOON - "Discussing with my ex-girlfriend

how I was having trouble finding a job. I'd

finished university and was working in

Woolworths whilst trying to get a better job.

'There are more jobs in London, why don't you

move down here?' 'I would, but I'd need a job

first so I could afford to move down.' 'No. I

live in London and I don't have a job!' 'Yes,

but you have a flat.' 'Well if I can have a

flat in London without having a job, why

can't you?' 'Errrr. Your Dad BOUGHT your flat

for you.' 'I really don't see what that's got

to do with anything...'

(SnowyTheRabbit)

* BALLOON - "A friend of mine absolutely refused

to drive anywhere at night because she was

worried she would hit someone and not notice.

I always thought I could cure her irrational

fear by setting up some empty plastic trash

bins and having her bump them with her car at

low speeds, to show that it's impossible to

not notice even that kind of impact.

"The opportunity never came up, so instead I

wedged an old deflated child's birthday

balloon and some human hair in the underside

of her bumper when she was leaving work for

the day, figuring that facing her fear was

the only way to get past it."

(Wank Fuckclunge)

>> This Week - BAD DATES <<

Tell us about your least successful date.

Arrive late? Forget their name? Show them

goatse on your phone just as the main course

arrived? Or was it the other way around?

I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.

Stupidity has a certain charm - ignorance does not.

STUPIDITY is NOT a HANDICAP! Park elsewhere!

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

Man has made use of his intelligence, he invented stupidity.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Tis sometimes the height of wisdom to feign stupidity.

'Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting' RAH.

There are four things that hold back human progress. Ignorance, stupidity, committees and accountants.

Artificial Intelligence usually beats real stupidity.

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Tools Explained

TOOLS EXPLAINED

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer now days is used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive boat parts not far from the object we are trying to "adjust". Available in a variety of sizes, which is typically chosen based on the amount of time you have already wasted attempting to "solve a problem". Available with a head made of steel, plastic, brass or hard rubber. As a side note, only the steel head has a practical use, no logical use for the other materials has ever been discovered. Some models equipped with the fly away head option. AKA "Ford Wrench", "BFH", "Wound Inflicting Hammer"

RAZOR KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on boxes containing boat covers and bimini tops.

ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Used for spinning steel pop rivets in their hole until you die of old age. Some larger models are capable of turning the users wrist in amazing directions never before imagined just as the bit starts to break through the material you're drilling.

SLIP JOINTED PLIERS: Primarily used to round the heads off of bolts. The joint slips and only grips items slightly larger then what you were originally trying to grip. Most have an area to cut wire at the base of the jaws. The "cutter" is good for squishing and mutilating wire where you would have liked to cut it.

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the garage, splattering it on the Bud Girls poster above the bench grinder.

BENCH GRINDER: This devise is equipped with a wire wheel on one end and a grinding wheel on the other end. The wire wheel is used to clean debris off of old bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench at the speed of light. Also removes fingerprint whorls and hard-earned calluses in about the time it takes to say "DragBoat". The grinding wheel is used primarily for starting small surprise fires at you feet. Also has the ability to transport the object your working on great distances.

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering the boat trailer back to the ground after you've installed those new low profile tires, trapping the jack handle firmly under the chrome fender.

EIGHT-FOOT LONG DOUGLAS FIR 2X4: Used for levering a trailer upward off a hydraulic jack.

TWEEZERS: a tool used for removing Douglas Fir wood splinters from your hand.

PHONE: Tool for calling your boating partner to see if he has another hydraulic floor jack. Also useful for canceling dinner reservations you and the wife had and ordering pizza delivery when the "three hour job" you started in the morning has now moved into the evening hours.

GASKET SCRAPER: Theoretically useful as a sandwich tool for spreading mayonnaise; used mainly for scraping dog doo off your shoes.

E-Z OUT BOLT & STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool that snaps off in broken bolts or studs and is ten times harder then any known drill bit.

TIMING LIGHT: A stroboscopic instrument used for illuminating grease buildup on crankshaft pulleys.

TWO TON OVERHEAD HOIST: A handy tool for testing the tensile strength of ground cables, fuel lines and electrical connectors you may have forgotten to disconnect.

½" X 16" SCREWDRIVER: A larger motor mount prying tool that inexplicably has an accurately machined flat tip on the end without the handle.

BATTERY ELECTROYTE TESTER: A handy tool for transferring sulfuric acid from a boat battery to your pants and to the inside of your toolbox after determining that your battery is dead as a doornail, just as you thought.

HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE GRIPS: Used to round off the heads of bolts. If nothing else is available, they can be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

RATCHET: Bolt removal tool typically equipped with a breakaway pop-top. This tool can also double as a hammer. Used with sockets that automatically fall off when you get near the bolt you want to remove. Sockets typically fall off and run and hide like critters. Changing directions requires a deft touch and a smart rap on a hard surface, and it might hold…and it might not…..not for the high blood pressure types.

TIN SNIPS: From the same family as the hacksaw. Comes in right and lefthanders, but neither will go where you want it without religious training. Perfect for ruining light- weight steel, copper, aluminum, brass, etc.

TROUBLE LIGHT: The mechanics own tanning booth. Sometimes called a drop light, it is a good source of vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, which is otherwise not found under engine hatches at night. Health benefits aside, it's main purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about the same rate that the 105-mm Howitzer shells might be used during, say, the first few hours of the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark then light, its name is somewhat misleading.
