30 août 2012 00h33	Pépé le Moko	Petits aphorismes du soir Ne vous disputez pas avec un idiot. Il vous rabaissera à son niveau et vous battra avec l'expérience. La connaissance sait qu'une tomate est un fruit; la sagesse ne le met pas dans une salade de fruits. Vous n'avez pas besoin d'un parachute pour faire de la chute libre. Vous avez seulement besoin d'un parachute pour faire de la chute libre deux fois. Empruntez toujours de l'argent à un pessimiste. Il ne s'attendra pas à ce que vous le lui rendiez. Un diplomate est quelqu'un qui peut vous dire d'aller au diable d'une telle façon que vous attendrez avec impatience le voyage. Certains créent du bonheur avec leur venue, d'autres avec leur départ. Quand vous tentez de combattre le feu par le feu, souvenez-vous que les Pompiers utilisent d'habitude de l'eau. Pour être sûr de toucher la cible, tirez d'abord et appelez ce que vous touchez "la cible".

30 août 2012 09h18	Pépé le Moko	Non Jamy ce n'est pas de moi. C'est tiré de cette liste reçue par mail : A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to re-frame or re-interpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public. War does not determine who is right - only who is left. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening' and then proceed to tell you why it isn't. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station. How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? Some people are like Slinkies ... not really good for anything, but you can't help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs. Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish. I didn't say it was your fault; I said I was blaming you. Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars but check when you say the paint is wet? Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America? Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice. The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas! Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back. A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip. Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with. Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water. You're never too old to learn something stupid. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Some people hear voices. Some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever. A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it. If you are supposed to learn from your mistakes, why do some people have more than one child? Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
30 août 2012 09h20	Segel	J'aime bien celle du parachute.
30 août 2012 09h28	Pépé le Moko	J'aime bien aussi celle-ci : A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station. Mais le jeu de mot est difficilement traduisible. tout comme celle-là : War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
30 août 2012 10h09	Segel	C'est clair qu'en français elles ne passent pas ...
30 août 2012 10h23	jamydefix	Dommage je ne comprend pas tout. Mais merci encore.
30 août 2012 10h30	Segel	On peut te les traduire, mais ça donnerait l'équivalent de Sky my husband !
30 août 2012 20h46	lurette	Moi non plus, j'ai pas tout compris (quasiment rien, d'ailleurs ) mais j'aime bien les "traduites" de départ, en particulier "Empruntez toujours de l'argent à un pessimiste. Il ne s'attendra pas à ce que vous le lui rendiez." ça me donne des idées
