    160. You enter this world naked, wet, and cold, and then things get worse.
    161. If you can count all your money, you don’t have a billion dollars. (J. Paul Getty).

    163. Don’t worry about anything now that can be worried about later.
    164. A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you’re talking about real money. (Everett Dirksen).
    165. Life is something to do when you can’t get to sleep.
    166. Always keep your words soft and sweet in case you have to eat them later.
    167. Life’s a joke, and then you croak!

    A preacher was presenting a sermon on the evils of alcohol and tobacco. For this he presented three cans. One, he announced, was full of good clean dirt and living earth worms. The others held some booze or air thick with tobacco smoke and, of course, dead worms.

    He challenged his audience to tell his what that meant and was surprised that a particular cantankerous old man was the one who stepped forward.

    "Ed?"

    "I reckon it means if y'all drink and smoke you'll not get worms!"
