two people watching-tv
You can, after all, reduce the reasons for watching TV to but two: to be lulled, and to be stimulated. Some people do one sometimes, the other sometimes. Some people do all of one or all of the other.
years people long
The information superhighway? That sounds like a place that's long and boring and kills 50,000 people a year.
people kicks
I get a kick out of people saying I was funny.
party thinking people
If (O.J. Simpson) is acquitted, I will renounce my citizenship. And if I converse with him at a cocktail party, I will say, 'Well, there are so many people here who haven't murdered anyone. I think I'll go talk to them.' I'll also riot.
writing people able
The trick to writing for people is, you have to be able to turn them on in your head. And know how they'd word something or how they'd inflect it.
men people assuming
Show people tend to treat their finances like their dentistry. They assume the man handling it knows what he is doing.
sex people police
Why are sex and violence always linked? I'm afraid they'll blur together in people's minds - sexandviolence - until we can't tell them apart. I expect to hear a newscaster say, "The mob became unruly and the police were forced to resort to sex."
stars people brain
Statistically, I'd say comedy writers are perhaps the sanest category of show people. And why not? They make big money, and although it's not an easy trade - particularly when you're at your galley oar five days a week - it's easier on the nerves and the psyche than living with the brain-squeezing pressure and cares of being the Star.
book kids people
While other kids were out playing and doing healthy things, I read an ancient judo book with a neck hold that was fatal to so many people, they finally dropped it from judo.
afraid anyone common fear ghost heard hurting people puzzles
Why are people afraid of ghosts? 'Ooh, no, I wouldn't want to see one! I'd be too scared' - accompanied by a tremolo of fear in the voice - is the common reaction. This puzzles me. I'd think anyone would welcome he opportunity. I've never heard of a ghost hurting anybody.
finances people tend
Show people tend to treat their finances like their dentistry. They assume the people who handle it know what they are doing.
muddy saved
Well, it saved her a lot of muddy shoes,
brain mystery study
The brain process that results in a joke materializing where no joke was before remains a mystery. I'm not aware of any scholarly, scientific or neurological studies on the subject.
dream anxiety next
The emotions in all true anxiety dreams are next to unbearable.
