The English Language II

1. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, dog trainers debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

2. You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

3. No one ever says, "It's only a game" when their team is winning.

4. Ever wonder about those people who spend $4.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards: NAIVE

5. Isn't making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?

6. If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhoea, does that mean that fifth one ENJOYS it?

7. Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

8. Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

Here is one that I've thought about.  If both "beauty" and "ugliness" are in the eye of the beholder, aren't they both the same thing?
