Signs not Found in High School Locker Rooms

 

There is no I in eye.

 

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take except in the “Hi, Bob!” thing, in which case maybe you should.

 

When the going gets tough, the tough think of logical alternatives.

 

We’re Number Ten!

 

Through these doors walk unhappy kids whose parents are re-living their youthful disappointments through their children.

 

That which does not kill you lowers your resistance to disease.

 

Pain is just weakness traveling to a lifetime of bone and joint clinic visits.

 

Shoot for the moon – if you miss you’ll fall screaming to your death.

 

Starving children working in contract sweat shops to make licensed team gear aren’t interested in your motivation.

 

And let’s be real – failure is always an option.
