It would seem that two of the horse's legs must be one mile ahead of the other two legs, but of course this can't be true. Since the horse is normal, how is this situation possible?
Age for me is just a number.
Politics are about preserving relationships at the end of the day, and it has nothing to do with the greater good for humanity. It's just all about business.
Spare a thought for the poor introverts among us. In a world of party animals and glad-handers, they're the ones who stand by the punch bowl.

While mixing sand, gravel, and cement for the foundation of a house, a worker noticed a small bird hopping along the top of the foundation wall. The bird misjudged a hop and fell down one of the holes between the blocks. The bird was down too far for anyone to reach it and the hole was too small for it to fly out of. Someone suggested using two sticks to reach down into the hole and pull the bird out, but this idea was rejected for fear it would injure the fragile bird. What would be the easiest way to get the bird out of the hole without injuring it?

So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the missing $1?
The friendship of Shostakovich cast a brilliant light over my whole life and whose spiritual qualities captured my soul once and for all time.
Britishness is just a way of putting things together and a certain don't care attitude about clothes. You don't care, you just do it and it looks great.
But now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I'm upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.

I have no respect for justice. I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives. I am cunning, malicious and gather strength with age. The more i am quoted, the more i am believed. I flourish at every level of society. My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me because i have no name and no face. To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive i become. I am nobody's friend. Once i tarnish a reputation, it is never the same. I topple governments and wreck marriages. I ruin careers and cause sleepsless nights, heartaches and indigestion. I spawn suspicion and generate grief. i make innocent people cry in their pillows. Even my name hisses. What am i?
