I don't know where it came from. I saved it because I have met a few of them.

A doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.
I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places.
The horse I bet on was so slow, the jockey kept a diary of the trip.
I know a man who doesn't pay to have his trash taken out. How does he get rid of his trash? He gift wraps it, and puts in into an unlocked car.
I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
Can you guess the genius behind these?

I always heard the last one as "To err is human, to forgive is not SAC's policy" (old Strategic Air Command)...they even had a mock logo to go with it...the normal SAC logo was a mailed gauntlet holding lightning bolts...the mock one replaced the lightning bolts with a detached portion of the male anatomy...it made the point about the importance of getting the job done right the first time, in a crudely humorous way.

More Rodney Dangerfield:
When I was in high school, I was talking to a pretty girl on the phone.
She said "Would you like to come over to my house? There's no one home."
I said SURE!
I went over her house. Sure enough, there was no one home!
My parents moved when I was 6 years old.
The cop told me "Kid, they could be anywhere!"
My parents never liked me. My dad used to give me a sharp knife and tell
me to go play in traffic!
The wife and I were having problems so we went to see a marriage counselor.
He told us that we should go out once a week for a romantic dinner.
It's working out great. She goes Friday's, I go Saturday's.

From SF writer Robert Heinlein:
An armed society is a polite society.
Always keep your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.
May have gotten this from Heinlein but it's become my personal motto:
"It's socially unacceptable to be ahead of your time."
