1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

6. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.

9. It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end-to-end, someone from California would be stupid enough to try to pass them.
10. If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.
11. The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

I think most of those are on the Murphy's Law 365 Day calendar. But still funny.
I used to keep one on my desk when I taught Jr High. 8th and 9th grade boys actually hurried to get to history class so could see what it said each day. I only let them look ahead on Friday when they got to look at Saturday and Sunday.
I gave one to my daughter her second year at UCLA and she got a lot of visitors to her dorm room who just wanted to check the calendar. I think they thought it was a guide book/horoscope for surviving UCLA.

I believe that the 2016 and 2017 versions are available on Amazon.I used to get mine at Barnes and Noble. Spotted my first one by accident, I spent a lot of time hanging out there, today I go by 3 or 4 times a year but spend a lot of money for things for my Nook readers from their online site.
