Funny Short Sayings
Here's a collection of funny short sayings to brighten up your day. They will tickle your funny bone and amuse you in their own way.
Wit is man's greatest treasure, someone said. And yes, he was right. Wit helps us see the absurdity in the most serious situations, and is hence important in life everyday. Life is supposed to be an erratic wave function, which the wise people have interpreted as a phenomenon with a lot of "ups and downs", and funny and witty sayings do help in the place where life dips a bit too low. These quotes will help put a smile on your face. The more absurd and wiseass they are, the better, I say.
