Next time anyone feels low...try reading Victor Hugo's quotes....insightful, inspirational and amusing.....

"A man is not idle because he's absorbed in thought....there is visible labor and invisible labor."
"I'm religiously opposed to religion."
"Fashions have done more harm than revolutions."

Yeah... I still feel that the snail walks over Victor Hugo. :cool:


Did you read the Beano when you were younger Davita?..I'm thinking probably not.

The toilets at a local police station have been stolen. Police say they have nothing to go on.

But you quote Victor Hugo rather than Plug and Walter the Softy:confused:

A magician was working on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience was different each week so he did same tricks over and over.
The problem was, the captain's parrot saw all the shows and began to understand how the magician did every trick.
He started shouting in the middle of the show: 'Look, it's not the same hat. Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table. Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?' The magician was furious but, as it was the captain's parrot, he could do nothing. Then one day the ship sank and the magician found himself floating on a piece of wood with the parrot.
They glared at each other but said nothing. Finally, after a week, the parrot said: 'OK, I give up. Where's the boat?'

A penguin walks into a shop and asks the assistant: 'Do you have any grapes?' 'No,' he replies.
The same thing happens the next day and on the third day the assistant replies: 'No, and if you come in asking for grapes again I
will nail your flippers to the floor!' Next day the penguin walks in and asks: 'Got any nails?' 'No,' replies the assistant. 'Got any grapes?' the penguin asks.
