Quips And Quotes

Once upon a time, I worked on a mainframe computer called a VAX 11/750.  On it, I found a collection of short humorous sayings that could be searched or displayed at random.  I quickly copied the file onto my personal computer, and have been adding to it ever since.  The only things the entries have in common is that they are 80 characters or less in length, and that they are at least somewhat funny (to me at least).  Feel free to use them for your own purposes, and if you know of a quip or quote that should be included, by all means forward it to me at:

I've written a couple of programs to display the quips.  If you're running Linux, quip.pl is a Perl script that pops up a random quote in an xmessage box when you run it.  If you're running Windows, quip.vbs is a VBScript program that will do the same.  Feel free to download them and tweak them to your heart's content.
