More people die from falling coconut than shark attack. Why is there no movie "Coconut - the Revenge"?

Friends know the person we want to be. Family know the person we are.

definition - MARRIAGE (n.): A no-win proposition.

If you find yourself congenitally incapable of heeding the preceding, i add the following. It's better to like your spouse, than love them (this probably won't save a marriage, but it might diminish the collateral damage).

1% of americans understand that we have no moral superiority by which we can condemn the Holocaust. The other 99%? "I'm ready for my swastika armband, Mr. DeMille!"

The single most revealing question you can ask a male? If your penis could be erect for as long as you want, whenever you want, but you would never have an orgasm again, would you do it?

The first rung on the spiritual ladder is the awareness that how you treat all life is as important as how you treat those connected to your own self-interest. This is much more than simply "be kind to strangers". This is the acknowledgement that hypothetical, invisible beings do not deserve greater love or loyalty than beings we know exist. To place a god above human or wildebeest, is another manifestation of the corruption called "classism". Despite the fact that it always serves the few at the expense of the many, we are ingrained to think that classism is natural, so we project it onto all our institutions. Superiority and subjectification - classist ideas go as far back as noted moron Plato, with his hierarchy of gold people, bronze people, iron people, etc. I promise, there never has been, nor ever could be, a god so insecure that it needed more reverence than any other manifestation of life.

Why is it okay to say to a woman "Oh, if only you had a sister", but wrong to say "Wow, your sister's attractive"?

In any fundamentally dysfunctional society, the path of wisdom, health, and balance comes with a silent companion - loneliness. Yet health requires abundant intimacy and social contact. I believe the word for that is "catch-22"?

If it weren't for being mindfucked, some people would never get fucked at all.

Can someone design a T-shirt or poster for me with jesus and general custer hugging and mugging for the camera, like frat boys?
