Ten Funny, Thought Proking and Inspirational Quotes About Winking

When I was just a teenager I always remember a defining moment in my life. While babysitting for my girlfriend’s parents we were relaxing on the sofa and I thought everything was going my way (in a “nudge, nudge, wink, wink” kind of way) But that was when something happened that will never, ever, forget. I looked at my girlfriend’s dog and it started winking at me! As if it knew what I wanted to happen that night! I was horrified and it completely ruined my libido but it did get me thinking of winking and I went on a journey to find some of the most inspirational, thought-provoking and interesting quotes about winking (as well as some funny pictures of animals winking to accompany them)…
