Definitions

Here we go: one last article to close out the year. Let’s hope it has you exiting 2011 and entering 2012 with at least a small smile. Just a few definitions that have what I consider “that Cabbages and Kings touch.”
Hope you like them … and see you all next year.

CIGARETTE:
A pinch of tobacco
Rolled in paper
With fire at one end
And a fool at the other!

MARRIAGE:
It’s an agreement
Wherein a man loses his bachelor degree
And a woman gains her master

LECTURE:
An art of transmitting Information
From the notes of the lecturer
To the notes of students
Without passing through the minds of either

CONFERENCE:
The confusion of one man
Multiplied by the number present

COMPROMISE:
The art of dividing a cake in such a way that
Everybody believes he got the biggest piece

TEARS:
The hydraulic force by which
Masculine will power is
Defeated by feminine water-power!

CONFERENCE ROOM:
A place where everybody talks,
Nobody listens
And everybody disagrees later on

ECSTASY:
A feeling when you feel
You are going to feel
A feeling you have never felt before

CLASSIC:
A book which people praise,
But never read

SMILE:
A curve that can set
A lot of things straight!
