I picked this up off another rv site and thought it humorous.  Thought I would pass it along.


Subject: New Rules for 08

New Rule: No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it's for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab. Picking out the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn't gift giving, it's the white folks version of looting.

New Rule: Stop giving me that pop-up ad for classmates.com! There's a reason you don't talk to people for 25 years. Because you don't particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days --- mowing my lawn.

New Rule: Don't eat anything that's served to you out a window unless you're a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy's chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Lobster?

New Rule: If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you're a dope. If you're a kid, the cards are keep sakes of your idols. If you're a grown man, they're pictures of men.

New Rule: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here's how much men care about your eyebrows: Do you have two of them? Good, we're done.

New Rule: There's no such thing as flavored water. There's a whole aisle of this******at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That's your flavored water.

New Rule: Stop screwing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that's square with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his butt will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.

New Rule: I'm not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering My PIN number, pressing 'Enter,' verifying the amount, deciding no, I don't want Cash back, and pressing 'Enter' again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy.

New Rule: Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn't make you Spiritual. It's right above the crack of your butt and it translates to 'beef with broccoli.' The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren't pregnant. You're not spiritual. You're just high.

New Rule: Competitive eating isn't a sport. It's one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the U.S. Open of Competitive Eating because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What's next, competitive farting? Oh wait, they're already doing that. It's called 'The Howard Stern Show.'

New Rule: I don't need a bigger mega M&M. If I'm extra hungry for M&Ms, I'll go crazy and eat two.

New Rule: If you're going to insist on making movies based on crappy old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what's playing on the other screens. Let's remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is that the idea wasn't good enough to be a movie.

New Rule: When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to hear '27 months.' 'He's two' will do just fine. He's not a cheese and I didn't really care in the first place.

New Rule: If you ever hope to be a credible adult and want a job that pays better than Minimum wage, then for God's sake don't pierce or tattoo every available piece of flesh. If so, then plan your future around saying, "Do you want fries with that?"
 
To give proper credit, those are George Carlin's New Rules for 2008.

All I had was the list of quotes from the other site.  No credit was given.

According to Snopes they are quotes from Bill Maher in 2006.    Snopes

I wasn't trying to take credit, just trying to post some humor.
 
Interesting, I wonder what the real origin is.
 
Good rules save for the baseball card one

There are a few baseball cards now days that have serious value, I mean .. Some kid, long about the time I was learning to walk, paid a penny or five for a pack of bubble gum and shoved the card in a box... His son today takes down that box, the old man having passed on, and sees these old cards.. he goes down the a local collector and the guy looks at this card,  Gets a bit excited, grabs some books, hits his computer and writes out a check for 10,000 dollars.. It's happeed.  Many times.

Good grief folks, I was trying for humor here.  I am sorry.  First I didn't quote a source and now one of them is wrong.
I am sorry.  It won't happen again.
 
OH fear not, the list was funny,  and most every list I"ve seen like it contained at least one that was off just a bit.

I did enjoy it.  Feel free to post more of them,  I got a good laugh out of some of those lines :)
 
I love the list !!! thanks so much for sharing it - I got a big laugh out of it  ;D

Gasbag: 

The humor came through just fine, don't worry.  Comments made which appear in black and white on a forum screen sometimes seem harsh or critical when they really are not.  We're a friendly bunch here and rarely get hyper about anything;  except, perhaps, toilet paper, black water, gas vs. diesel, Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge, etc.  ;)

Karl, it was you that told me they were from George Carlin.  How can I believe anything you say :)
 
If you guys don't watch Bill Mahar how would you know that every show he gives of a list of NEW RULES and most of them are hilarious.  Now stop nit-picking and get back to being funny.!!!!! ;D

Well, Margi, sometimes a gal's got to do what a gal's got to do.... ::) 

Miss the old time bantering we used to get into now and again.....
