Gary will become famous soon enough
The Lighter Side of Zen -- Part 1

1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either; just Get Out Of The Way and leave me alone.

2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a flat tire.

3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbour's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

4. Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

5. No one is listening until you make a mistake.

6. Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

7. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

8. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

9. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help.

10. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

The Japanees have a tricky way to import there steel into the US, they paint it, put it on 4 wheels, and then call it a car

I'm still pretty sure my favorite that made me laugh the most was from David Lee Roth on one of the opening shows of MTV.

I don't want to work for Maggie's pa no more. No, I don't wanna work for Maggie's pa, no more. He hands you a nickel, he hands you a dime, he asks you with a grin if you're having a good time, then he fines you every time you slam the door! I don't wanna work on Maggie's Farm no more!

No Opels were harmed in the filming of this movie.
However two Mustangs, a Pinto, and a Capri were hospitalized.
One Mustang was euthanized the next morning.
