Summary

"This Crazy Thing Called Life" is a book that makes witty and satirical comments about the journey we're all on, the journey we call life. Through his observations of human nature, and the human condition the author has formed his own unique perspective and has made comments, regarding those matters that most effects our lives, focusing on love, marriage, money, politics, education, religion, and life in general. At the same time he continually makes the point that we are all responsible for our own lives and that we can make it what ever we want. With comments, quotes, paraphrases, as well as pictures, the writer drives home his observations much in the style of Andy Rooney, and Art Buchwald. "This CrazyThing Called Life" entertains with humorous comments and pictures, but all the while it provokes thought about a multitude of subjects that we all experience on the roller coaster ride of life.

Excerpts

Life:
• Life is like a stage play and your playing the lead part, its up to you to play it well because there won't be any repeats or stunt doubles.
• A smart man understands that he will never understand a woman and excepts that as a universal law.
• There's a different between talk and conversation. One requires intelligence and the other doesn't. A three year old can talk but it can carry on a conversation.

• Living life is like playing dodge ball, you have to keep your eye on the ball, be quick and nimble, and watch out for head shots.

That Crazy Thing Called Love:
• Men are not the true love of a woman's life, that place is reserved for chocolate.
• Happiness is like a kiss, its meant to be shared, and the longer the better.
• All marriages are happy, it's the living together after the ceremony that causes all of the problems.
• I think that men find romance difficult because its not a part of their nature, but they
have no problem with love because love is a part of any human heart.
• A lot of women get excited about nothing, then they marry him.
• A hug can be a safe haven and a place of rest.
• Real love never has to be forced, if its real it will happen in its own time, and at its own pace, much like a sunrise.
More Of Life:
• If you know your own mind then you know yourself.
• If King Solomon was the wisest man to have ever lived why didn't he invent the
airplane, or automobile, the DVD player, the microwave oven, the I- phone, I-pad,
personal computer, or the internet? It may be because he had 700 wives.
• Is it wise or smart to have 700 wives? The word "trouble" comes to mind, but that's
just me.
• A lot of people will do the right thing, but only after they have tried everything else first.
• Life is about being able to multi-task on a grand scale.
• The one thing that you will always have is your future so make the most of it.
• All of mans problems come from his inability to sit quietly at home and mind his own
business.
God and Religion:
• If God can do anything, can he create a rock so big that he, himself, cannot pick it up?
• I've always liked what Queen Elizabeth I said, "I'd rather talk to God rather than listen to someone talk about him."
• There are people that say that God didn't answer their prayer. In actuality he did, the answer was, "no".
• The test of any religion is that you can question it, and joke about it, without getting into
trouble.
• Only God can explain humans and that's because it requires an infinite wisdom.
• The Bible is life's instruction book, when all else fails try reading the instructions.
Life Goes On:
• Success comes to those that are bold enough to pursue it.
• Life can be a tough teacher, it has a tendency to give a test before the lesson has been
taught.

• If I'm a NASCAR fan and watch all the races does that make me a racist?
• Frankenstein's monster is a good example of using inferior parts to accomplish an important project.
• Equality is a noble aspiration but right now it only exists in cemetery's.
• You can dream of the future but its what you do in the present that will make your
dream come true.
• A crisis is what happens when you put off till tomorrow what you should have done
today.
• Most men consider a "Happy Meal" to be anything served with an ice cold beer.
Lawyers, Politicians, and other unsavory characters:
• I wonder if there is a separate Hell for lawyers? There has to be, no self respecting sinner
will want to burn in Hell with a bunch of wining, complaining, arguing, lawyers.
• Politicians, when their not kissing babies they're stealing their suckers.
• I have a friend who recently broke a mirror and was afraid that he would have seven
years bad luck. His lawyer thinks with some negotiation and deal making he can get him
off with only five years and some community time.
• The United States Congress is like a baby that has gotten hold of a hammer, nothing is
safe.
• The one thing that politicians excel at is spending other peoples money.
• A judge is really a lawyer wearing a disguise.
• The lawyer that tells the best story is the one that wins.
