aphorisms
Some of these are dated, but hey, so am I.

Aphorism is a statement of truth or opinion expressed in a concise and witty manner.♦️ I read that 4,153,237 people were married last year. Not to cause any trouble .... but shouldn't that be an even number?
♦️ I find it ironic that the colors red, white and blue stand for freedom until they are flashing behind you.
♦️ When wearing a bikini, women reveal 90% of their bodies . Men are so polite they only look at the covered parts.
♦️ Relationships are a lot like algebra. Have you ever looked at your X and wondered Y?
♦️ America is a country which produces citizens who will cross the ocean to fight for democracy but won't cross the street to vote.
♦️ You know that tingly little feeling you get when you love someone? That's common sense leaving your body .
♦️ My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We'll see about that!
♦️ I think my neighbor is stalking me as she's been Googling my name on her computer. I saw it through my telescope last night.
♦️ Money talks ... but all mine ever says is good-bye.
♦️ You're not fat, you're just easier to see.
♦️ If you think nobody cares whether you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.
♦️ I always wondered what the job application is like at Hooters. Do they just give you a bra and say, "Here, fill this out?"
♦️ I can't understand why women are OK that JC Penney has an older women's clothing line named, "Sag Harbor"
♦️ The location of your mailbox shows you how far away from your house you can go in a robe before you start looking like a mental patient.
♦️ Money can't buy happiness, but it keeps the kids in touch.
♦️ The reason Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet was because nobody was married. Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Earnest T Bass, Helen, Thelma Lou, Clara and, of course, Opie were all single. The only married person was Otis, & he was a drunk.
Does all this make you feel better about aphorisms?
