Sunshine and I (and our far away friend Hollywood), have a love for a certain gentleman named Jack Handey. Haven't heard of him? See a few samples of his work below:
"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."
"During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were 'just going down to the corner'."
"It's funny that pirates were always going around searching for treasure, and they never realized that the real treasure was the fond memories they were creating."
Confused yet? I bet ya are. Well let me explain. (and by "me" I really mean Wikipedia, of course):
'Jack Handey (born 25 February 1949) is an American humorist. He is best known for his Deep Thoughts, a large body of surrealistic one-liner jokes, as well as his "Fuzzy Memories" and "My Big Thick Novel" shorts. Although many people assume otherwise,[1][2] Handey is a real person, not a pen name or a character."
Jack Handey worked on SNL after being introduced to Lorne Michaels by Steve Martin. Anytime I need a good laugh, I pull up his quotes online or Sunshine and I take turns reading out loud from one of his books. It never fails to make us feel better.
And if you don't think he's funny.... I don't think we can be friends anymore.

My senior quote was:
"If dogs ever take over the world and they had to choose a leader, I hope they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some chihuahuas out there with some really good ideas."
Hilarious!! Did I tell you I'm getting a Chihuahua in less than two weeks??? Yup!
