In A Perfect World

"In A Perfect World"*

*A person should feel as good at 50 as he did at 17
and he would actually be as smart at 50 as he thought he was at 17.

You could give away a baby bed without getting pregnant.

Forget-me-nots would stimulate the memory.

Doing what was good for you would be what you
enjoyed doing the most.

Pro baseball players would complain about
teachers being paid contracts worth millions of dollars.

People always have good reasons to be optimistic.

You would never fumble, but if you did, you
would recover the ball yourself.

The mail would always be early, the check would
always be in the mail, and it would be written for
more than you expected.

Potato chips might have calories, but if you ate
them with a dip, the calories would be neutralized.

If the guy from the government said to you,
"I'm here to help," not only would he mean it,
but also he'd do it.

First impressions wouldn't count for nearly as
much as ultimate performance. Winning might
be a nice thing, but that would be about all.

All people could expect to be accepted.

Every once in a while at least, a kid who always
closed the door softly would be told, "Go back
and slam the door."

Highway patrolmen would never be around
when you're running late, but would always
be at your side when a BMW blows past or
a Mac truck won't get off your bumper.

The better food tasted, the less calories it would have.

Warranties would be for 13 months and
products would fail at 12.

More would be accomplished by governments
when they spent more.
