THE 42 MAXIMS OF D. BIRKBY by, David Birkby 1. Life is like a sewer, what you get out of it depends on what you put into it. 2. Don't blame others for the worlds problems, they're here to. 3. Life is not like a box of chocolates, that's why we have Dew. 4. Shit's going to happen so just deal! 5. Dew dosen't really taste good, it only keeps you awake. The taste and reaction are all in your head. (That why it is the drink of choice for ES-M Stage Crew) 6. Weird is always normal, look at coroners. 7. Number six is not really supposed to be funny, its main purpose is to see if you are really thinking about these maxims. 8. 42 only means three things, it is the answer to 6*7. 9. 42 is 101010 in the binary language. 10. Most insignificantly, it is also the answer to life, the universe, everything. 11. 42 is explained in a Five book Trilogy. (Think about it) 12. The Lazy man's way may not always be the best way, but dammit, it will always be the easiest damn way. 13. Athletes are not heroes, they just get paid a lot for what we did for fun in school. 14. Actors are not heroes, they just get paid a lot for what we did for fun in school. 15. Stage Crew members are heroes. 16. Sword fighting is the only good type of violence, lt is artistic and cultural. 17. In musicals, the villian will never be in the final song. 18. In musicals. the villian will always be made to look like a jackass. 19. Musicals are not like real life. 20. Star Trek is not real, it is only a TV show! (Its reality will come in the 24th century) 21. Star Wars is the real one. (Since it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far away...) 22. Vulcans have exceptional strength, a long lifespan and two eyelids on each eye. 23. Kirk was and is better than Picard. (They killed the wrong captian...)(Diplomacy for Kirk is a phaser and a smirk.) -Dr. Seuss (Johnnie Cochran) 24. Patrick Stewart is a better man off-stage than Bill Shatner. 25. Avery Brooks should keep his gotie. 26. Captian Crunch should keep his hat. 27. Kirk would kilt on Janeway if the two ever met. (And she would enjoy every minute of it.) 28. Always pass the word Asparagus when playing Password. (Okay, you have a long shaft with a tip on the end...) 29. Goofy is better than Mickey. 30. Elvis is dead, he is not in the basement. (That is only me.) 31. He who hesitates is lost. (I know I borrowed this one, but you'll see why shortly) 32. Good things come to those who wait. (Be patient, I borrowed both of these for a reason, as you'll see in #33.) 33. Put 31 and 32 together. (With a comma instead of a period after lost in 31 and add either but or and [whichever makes more or less sense, your choice] and read the new sentence) 34. The absolut way to get someone back is to make them look like a jackass while they are trying to make you look like a jackass. (Oh sorry, Absolute!) 35. Think about number 34. (Quietly, as if you were in study hall...) 36. Looking like a jackass is highly underated. 37. Act like a jackass every once in a while. (It fee1s great, I do it every day!)(Should I be proud of that?) 38. COWS RULE!!!!!!!!!! 39. Only in musicals can someone like Tony go around like the macho guy he is, get Maria, in a purple shirt. (West Side Story)(As if you didn't know!) 40. TEAM GIFF LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!! 41. The Blues Brothers are godds. They are the only to Blues brothers who can cruise and swing so successfully in tight slacks. (Oops, wrong SNL skit!)(Yes it is the two "d" godd. In remembrance in Giff.) 42. Don't follow these maxims, they can only be understood, comprehended and applied through the process of osmosis into the Birkby-Specialized Brain 42000. (Not available in any stores.)(It took me 5 years to finally get mine through special order.)
