15 Quotes by Penny Marshall to inspire you

Today I’ve curated some excellent quotes by Penny Marshall.

The late film director, producer, and actress Penny Marshall was a great talent, and I’m sure she’s missed by all who knew her well.

Penny Marshall rose to fame in the 1970s with her role in the hit US television sitcom Laverne & Shirley.

Playing the role of Laverne DeFazio, she was funny. She created a character that has proved to be one of the standout comedy characters from the golden age of situation comedy.

If you’re not familiar with the sitcom Laverne & Shirley, there are plenty of clips available on YouTube to give you an idea of how good it was back in the day.

In recent years, there has been an improvement in the availability of opportunities for women, particularly in show business. And of course, that’s how it should be.

However, we have to admire those strong and talented women from previous generations who managed to succeed in their chosen profession, despite a system that was rigged against them. In Penny Marshall, women had a great role model.

She managed to become a successful director of films, an area of entertainment that is still heavily dominated by men to this day.

She was a very smart lady. So here are 15 quotes by Penny Marshall that reflect her philosophy.

21 extracts from funny complaints letters to make you smile

Today I’ve curated some extracts from funny complaints letters.

Unfortunately, people living in social housing tend to be at the lower end of the socio-economic scale. They often have limited education and tend to be less articulate. The result for local councils can be some funny complaint letters at times.

In Britain, local councils are the focal point for the provision of social housing, and they are the main recipients of what frequently turn out to be some funny complaints letters.

To illustrate my point, here are some extracts from funny complaints letters sent to local councils in Britain. All very innocent remarks, of course, but I’m sure the housing officers receiving these letters couldn’t resist a chuckle or two.

So take a few minutes to enjoy them all.

  9. This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broken and we can’t get BBC2.

Hilarious Joke:

Standing up to the Angels:

A man dies and suddenly finds himself standing in line at the Pearly Gates waiting for St Peter.

With a cloud-connected iPad in his hand, St Peter is checking the details of each individual standing in line to decide whether they’ve done enough to pass through the gates into Heaven.

When the man gets to the front of the queue, St Peter looks at him and says, “Name please?

I’m Jim Thompson”, says the man.

Hello Jim”, says St Peter, “Can you tell me what you did for a living please?

Jim hesitated momentarily before saying, “Unfortunately I was out of work and living on welfare.

Hmmmmm”, says St Peter rubbing his chin. “Have you done anything recently that has benefited your fellow human beings?

Jim thought for a minute, and then he said, “Well, when I saw a group of Hells Angels abusing a pretty girl in the street, I walked right up to the ringleader, and getting right into his personal space, nose to nose, looking him dead in the eye, I said to him, ‘You show that girl some respect, boy or you and I will have to sort it out man to man’.”

St Peter tapped something into his iPad and considered the response momentarily. Then he said to Jim, “I’m afraid there’s nothing in your records to confirm what you’ve said. When did it happen?

About five minutes ago”, said Jim.

30 funny quotes about life that’ll make you smile

Hello dear reader, are you looking for some funny quotes about life?

Life doesn’t come with a guarantee.

It is what it is and we get out of it about as much as we are prepared to put in. Certainly, that is my experience.

Some people are lucky and others less so. And we can’t be certain of anything, other than death and taxes (and the occasional Wi-Fi dropout).

It’s a funny old world when you think about it and the experience of human existence can be a little bizarre at times too.

So today I offer you 30 funny quotes about life to emphasize the point and hopefully make you smile too.

Yes, life’s hard, and for many people, it’s extremely tough.

Life can be cruel for many people, but for the lucky ones it can be a joy. So if you’re one of the lucky ones then embrace life and all the challenges it puts in your path. Through those challenges, you will grow.

However, don’t take yourself too seriously because no one else does.

Just learn to smile and appreciate whatever is good in your life.

Chase success by all means, but don’t expect any certainties. Just enjoy whatever comes your way.

Finally, remember this: you will make mistakes. So what? Everyone else does too.

Just learn from any mistakes you make and move on.

Nothing matters much when you think about it.

However, laughing at yourself and life is probably the most important coping tool you’ll have at your disposal. So start by laughing at these funny quotes about life.

Sadly, I cannot be sure of their origins, so for the moment they remain classified as authors unknown.

However, if you can enlighten me as to their origins, then please do. I am very keen to acknowledge the work of others whenever possible.
