Sex is like air, it's not important unless you aren't getting any
 
Life is like a rubber sheet. You can stretch it out for a while but you never really know when it's going to tear in half.
 
A violin is like a bicycle, sort of.
 
A bicycle is like a camel, sort of.

A woman between the ages of 1 and 70+ is like Tibet.
Wildly beautiful, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages, only those with adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge visit there.


A man between the ages of 1 and 70+ is like Canada --- ruled by a dick.
