Smile Today - 6/11

7 years ago

I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are;

because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.

I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far;

for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are.

-- Milton Berle

    Why does it suck to be a penguin?

    Because even when you get angry, you still look cute.
