More Deep (Funny) Thoughts

Way back in June, I shared some of my favorite quotes about housekeeping. It was so much fun that I'm doing it again. Enjoy!

Housework can't kill you, but why take a chance?
- Phyllis Diller

Housework, if you do it right, will kill you.
- Erma Bombeck

Housework is the only activity at which men are allowed to be consistently inept because they are thought to be so competent at everything else.
- Letty Cottin Pogrebin

Housework is what a woman does that nobody notices unless she hasn't done it.
- Evan Esar

I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again.
- Joan Rivers (see above picture)

I think housework is the reason most women go to the office.
- Heloise

There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years the dirt doesn't get any worse.
- Quentin Crisp

Now I better go make the beds and do the laundry.

Deep Thoughts

Since Brooklyn schools are closed today for the fabricated, quirky holiday known as Brooklyn-Queens Day and I will be busy with the kids, I won't have time to cook, clean, or blog.

On top of which, today is Avo and my 9th wedding anniversary, so we'll be going out for dinner to celebrate.

Therefore, it is the perfect time to share some thoughtful and funny household sentiments from some famous folks:

You sometimes see a woman who would have made a Joan of Arc in another century and climate, threshing herself to pieces over all the mean worry of housekeeping.
-- Rudyard Kipling


My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.
-- Erma Bombeck

Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.
-- Phyllis Diller, Phyllis Diller's Housekeeping Hints, 1966


Don't cook. Don't clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she waxed the linoleum - "My God, the floor's immaculate. Lie down, you hot bitch."
-- Joan Rivers


The Rose Bowl is the only bowl I've ever seen that I didn't have to clean.
-- Erma Bombeck


I'm not going to vacuum until Sears makes one you can ride on.
-- Roseanne Barr


My theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you?
-- Erma Bombeck

And with those thoughts, I wish everyone a Happy Brooklyn-Queens Day!
