Week of March 28, 2002
Wear a T-shirt that says, "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." Slap a bumper sticker on your car that reads, "Having abandoned my search for the truth, I am now looking for a good fantasy." If you're a woman, make frequent use of this declaration: "You say I'm a bitch like that's a bad thing." If you're a man: "I'm hung like Einstein and as smart as a horse." APRIL FOOL! While it is a favorable time to adopt a feisty, unpredictable, nothing-to-lose attitude, you'll get best results if you mix a bit of elegance in with the campy approach I suggested above. For instance, try these sly Oscar Wilde quotes.
"I can resist everything except temptation."
"Nothing succeeds like excess."
"Always forgive your enemies. Nothing annoys them so much."
"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."
"I can believe anything provided it is incredible."
"The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself."
"The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves."
"It is dangerous to be sincere unless you are also stupid."
"One should always play fairly when one has the winning cards."
"Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about."
"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
"It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances."
"To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance."
"I live in terror of not being misunderstood."
"There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
