“I have found that there is no such thing as an original thought. As soon as I think I have a new thought, I discover someone thought it 2500 years ago. So here are a few of MY original thoughts… that I probably “took” from someone else…I just don’t know who! So until I remember, they belong to ME! I am "just kidding" about some of my Larryisms, while with others I am extremely serious. You decide which are which.

Here are some Larryisms, many of which have not been published yet. Have fun. Think.
