The Average American
      
      
      A recent study conducted by Harvard University found
that the average American walks about 900 miles a year.
      
      Another study by the American Medical Association found
that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
      
      This means, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to
the gallon. 
      
      Kind Of Makes Me Proud To Be An American...

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
