Will Rogers, who died in a plane crash with Wylie Post in 1935, was probably the greatest political sage this country has ever known. Enjoy the following:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are 2 theories to arguing with a woman...neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back in your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10.If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11.Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12.After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Very good. I don't know if they have been posted before but good enough to repeat regardless.

Good ones. One of his sayings that I always liked was: "I don't belong to an organized political party. I'm a Democrat." :D

Just wondering, did they have electric fence before 1935? Yes I'm bored.

The concept of the electric fence was first described in Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, in 1889, as a defensive weapon.

Electric fences were used to control stock in the United States in the early 1930's, and developed further in both the United States and New Zealand.

No I didn't know it - I googled it :D
