Every Saturday I share one or two of my dads emails that contain generally some form of humor, perspective, something funny or all three. I enjoy seeing what he sends over and apparently many of you do too. I told him he has his own little fan club:)<\/p>\n<p>So here are a few things he sent over that might start your Saturday off with a little laugh&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">____________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p><b>1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably in prison.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>2. To me, &#8220;drink responsibly&#8221; means don&#8217;t spill it.<\/p>\n<p>3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.<\/p>\n<p>4. It&#8217;s the start of a brand new day, and I&#8217;m off like a herd of turtles.<\/p>\n<p>5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.<\/p>\n<p>6. When I say, &#8220;The other day,&#8221; I could be referring to any time between yesterday and 15 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.<\/p>\n<p>8. I had my patience tested. I&#8217;m negative.<\/p>\n<p>9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a Tupperware lid that doesn&#8217;t fit any of your containers.<\/p>\n<p>10. If you&#8217;re sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next to you, just stare straight ahead and say, &#8220;Did you bring the money?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say &#8220;nothing,&#8221; it does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.<\/p>\n<p>12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but whatever.<\/p>\n<p>13. I run like the winded.<\/p>\n<p>14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning and don&#8217;t know whose side I&#8217;m on.<\/p>\n<p>15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and ask, &#8220;Why, what did you hear?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?<\/p>\n<p>17. I don&#8217;t mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember things and get really excited.<\/p>\n<p>18. When I ask for directions, please don&#8217;t use words like &#8220;east.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>19. Don&#8217;t bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring. Spend 30 seconds in my head. That&#8217;ll freak you right out.<\/p>\n<p>20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We call those people cops.<\/p>\n<p>21. My luck is like a bald guy who just won a comb.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SZB4_-tiRt0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen title=\"The Honest Pre-flight Safety Demonstration Video That Airlines Are Afraid to Show You\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0_________________________________________________<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\" style=\"text-align: left;\">One was funny and the other was scarily informative but the statistics should comfort everyone about the safety of flying!
