29 Universal Truths

Got the following from a mate of mine, Thomas, who is always a great source of amusing, strange, odd, kinda sexy but in a creepy way emails. This one is a series of ‘universal truths’ that I really enjoyed and you may relate to some of them as well… in like… a universal kinda way.

I’d thank and credit the author but that seems to have been lost as this email has churned it’s way around the globe but whoever wrote it – kudos!

29 UNIVERSAL  TRUTHS
1. I think part of a best  friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you  die.

2. Nothing sucks more than  that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

3. I totally take back all  those times I didn’t want to nap when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a  sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you  supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive  really necessary?

7. Obituaries would be a lot  more interesting if they told you how the person died.

8. I can’t remember the last  time I wasn’t at least kind of tired.

9. Bad decisions make good  stories.

10. You never know when it  will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t  going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

11. Can we all just agree to  ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don’t want to have to restart my  collection … again.

12. I’m always slightly  terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes  to my ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes  to.

13. “Do not machine wash or  tumble dry” means I will never wash this – ever.

14. I hate when I just miss  a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call  back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What did you do after I didn’t  answer? Drop the phone and run away?

15. I hate leaving my house  confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire  day. What a waste.

16. I keep some people’s  phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they  call.

17. I think the freezer  deserves a light as well.

18. I wish Google Maps had  an “Avoid ” routing option.

19. Sometimes, I’ll watch a  movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what  the heck was going on when I first saw it.

20. I would rather try to  carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my  groceries in.

21. I have a hard time  deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

22. How many times is it  appropriate to say “What?” before you just nod and smile because you still  didn’t hear or understand a word they said?

23. I love the sense of  camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent an a ** from cutting  in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!

24. Shirts get dirty.  Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them  forever.

25. Is it just me or do high  school kids get dumber & dumber every year?

26. There’s no worse feeling  than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair  back a little too far.

27. As a driver I hate  pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of  transportation, I always hate cyclists.

28. Sometimes I’ll look down  at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it  is.

29. Even under ideal  conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding  their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my behind  everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7  seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!

    “There is great need for a sarcasm font”.

    Yes there is!

    Fellow Voodoonista,

    We should embark on a brave quest to find THE sarcasm font. Then the five of us (presuming that Midnights mum Mrs Midnight (MMMM) still reads the page) will need to start a campaign across the world to have our font universally accepted.

    Surely you see the impotance of this. Many great wars would have prevented if telegrams had only had a sarcasm font. The world may be a different place if Polands famous August 31, 1939 telegram “Sure! your welcome to invade, hows tomorrow at lunchtime sound?” had only been read as sarcasticly as it had been written.
