Lit Term Def. ''Epigram'' (And by default ''Aphorism'' as well)

Epigram: Witty aphorism.
(Like I said...) Aphorsim: A terse, pointed statement expressing some wise or clever observation on life.

"Life is like an ex-wife....it's a BITCH!"
"I may be here tomorrow, but I may be wrong about it."-Adolfus Aspergur
"The question is, what's the answer?"
"The present is pregnant with the future, and I know who knocked her up. And he's history!"-John King

    Matt those examples are classic and funny. They will definatly help me to remember what an Epigram is, or aphorism, either one. It is good that you related the two words because you killing two words with one defenition. Nice job.
