Mountain Musing Pillows

"Don't let it slam."

If life is a river, what are we doing up here on top of the mountain?

'Let's start out with cliches and pithy slogans - and work our way up to wisdom ...OK?'

"How do you say ‘Where is the bathroom’ in Sanskrit?"

'Which would be more Zen ? a pizza with nothing, or a pizza with everything?'

"Smoke a cigar that fits your face."

How's my enlightenment? Call 1-800-Nirvana.

''Faith can move mountains'? -- That's actually a little disturbing.'

"OK, now you can sing your heart out."

'Do you ever just feel like getting away from it all?'

"Yes, I'm the wise man who lives on the top of the mountain. And believe me, the surcharge for the pizza delivery service is insane!"

'Actually I only do this on weekends.'

"When was your last meta-physical?"

"The meaning of life is cats."

"Dear Bad-Karma, to assist you at this busy time, I've drawn up a list of people you may have missed."

'I hired a decorator.'

'No, I heard you snoring -- you just dreamed that you attained Nirvana.'

'I've been up here almost a month now -- when do we get paid?'

"What a listener. My burden feels lighter already."

'Because Elvis is FULL of philosophical insights.'

"I'm just checkin' my email, OK! I AM NOT googling it..."

'Uh, we do have tenure, don't well?

'That's the point - We're SUPPOSED to be out of the loop!'
