Motto of the Month: January 2011
Dear Member,
Among other firsts to contend with this time of year, the Let ' s Have Better Mottoes Association, Inc. offers Kenny O'Donnell's suggestion:
IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED
check the trash for the instructions
Our official parade horse Joe, when apprised of the motto, selected a parade route, beginning at the southwest corner of the county incinerator and ending at the First Street Bar, which gives members an insight to his brilliant, innovative nature. Nevertheless, the parade will form at 11 AM on the 11th and you will get further instructions at that time. If members remember to bring mottoes to the parade or, better yet , mail one or more to the Secretary, they will be rewarded.
The first thing kids learn from other kids is how much allowance they get.
The Association's Committee on Daffynitions proposes that an Igloo is the sticky stuff that keeps an ig from coming apart; that Conscience is what feels so bad when everything else feels so good; and a Scandanavian Myth is a Laplander lath who kithith under the mithletoe.
A pronoun is a noun that plays for money.
Members whose mottoes didn ' t succeed at first must have had money on their minds , since suggestions included: "MAKE YOUR TAX DOLLARS GO FARTHER, send the astronauts to Mars," from Dick and Pat Durbin; "MONEY CAN ' T BUY HAPPINESS, and I ' d like to try to prove it," from John Alex Patterson; and , "WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS is more free speech worth listening to, " from Jed and Elly.
We wouldn't be in this mess today if the Indians had had tougher immigration laws.
Cordially,
John Belzer
Secretary
The Let's Have Better Mottoes Association, Inc.
