Retirement Plan
"If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago,
it would now be worth $49.00.
With Enron,
you would have $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00.
With
WorldCom,
you would have less than $5.00 left.
But, if
you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Beer one year ago,
drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for
the aluminum
recycling price, you would have $214.00.
Based on the above, current investment advice is
to
drink heavily and recycle.
It's called the 401-Keg Plan."
"I once began a
list of all the contradictory notions I hold:/ Look before you leap./ He who hesitates is lost./ Two heads are better than
one./ If you want something done, do it yourself./ Nothing ventured, nothing gained./ Better safe than sorry./ Out of sight,
out of mind./ Absence makes the heart grow fonder./ You can't tell a book by its cover./ Clothes make the man./ Many hands
make light work./ Too many cooks spoil the broth./ You can't teach an old dog new tricks./ It's never too late to learn./
Never sweat the small stuff./ God is in the details./ And so on. The list goes on forever. Once I got so caught up in this
kind of thinking that I wore two buttons on my smock when I was teaching art. One said, 'Trust me, I'm a teacher.' The other
replied, 'Question authority.'"

"If
I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved
by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense
this advice now.Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of
yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You
are not as fat as you imagine. Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying
is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be
things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4 p.m. on some idle TuesdayDo
one thing every day that scares you.Sing.Dont be reckless with other peoples hearts, dont put up with
people
who are reckless with yours. Floss Dont waste your time on jealousy; sometimes youre ahead, sometimes youre behindthe race
is long, and in the end, its only with yourself. Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed
in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Dont feel guilty if you
dont know what you want to do with your life the most interesting people I know didnt know at 22 what they wanted to do with
their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still dont. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, youll
miss them when theyre gone. Maybe youll marry, maybe you wont, maybe youll have children, maybe you wont, maybe youll divorce
at 40, maybe youll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary what ever you do, dont congratulate yourself too
much or berate yourself either your choices are half chance, so are everybody elses. Enjoy your body, use it every way you
can dont be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, its the greatest instrument youll ever own. Dance even if
you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you dont follow them. Do NOT read beauty
magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents; you never know when theyll be gone for good. Be nice
to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand
that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. Live in New York City once, but leave
before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain inalienable
truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do youll fantasize that when you
were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Dont expect
anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out. Dont mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy,
but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the
disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth. But trust me on the sunscreen

"At one time or another I have insulted everybody, and I am proud of that. Folks, let me sum it
up for you: I think religion is bad, and drugs are good. I think America causes cancer, longevity is less important than fun
and young people should be discouraged from voting. I think stereotypes are true, abstinence is a pervsion, Bushs lies are
worse than Clintons and there is nothing sexy about being old or pregnant. I think 9-11 changed nothing, and if I had known
the onset of war would add a hundred points on to Bushs IQ, I would have started one. I think pornography stops rape, I think
AIDS ribbons are stupid, and flag burning makes me feel patriotic. I think death is not the worst thing that can happen. I
think people have too much self-esteem, and being drunk is funny. I think children are not innocent, God doesnt write books,
and Jesus wasnt a republican. I am for mad cow disease, and against suing tobacco companies. I think girls hate each other,
no doesnt always mean no, you have to lie to stay married, womens sports are boring, and the Olympics are gay. Well be on
