“There are some people who, if they don’t already know, you can’t tell ‘em.” Yogi Berra

 

[Maurice]

"No matter where you go....there you are."

"I forgot more about _________ than you will ever learn." I have always questioned how this is somehow supposed to make me feel impressed with someones prowess.

When I go to a party with my wife....I sometimes for a laugh introduce her as my first wife. Hi john, I would like to introduce you to my first wife Beth. Then watch there eyes roll around as their brain chuggs to a stop, mouth drops and then closes.

Or for kicks I will ask my mother in law if I can talk with my "old lady" when my wife is over there.

When I was a boy of fourteen my father was so ignorant, I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years .... Mark Twain

In light of this godawful winter I tought this was appropriate:
Winter is icumen in,
Lhude sing Goddamm,
Raineth drop and staineth slop,
And how the wind doth ramm!
Sing: Goddamm.
Skiddeth bus and sloppeth us,
An ague hath my ham.
Freezeth river, turneth liver,
Damm you; Sing: Goddamm.
Goddamm, Goddamm, 'tis why I am, Goddamm,
So 'gainst the winter's balm.
Sing goddamm, damm, sing goddamm,
Sing goddamm, sing goddamm, DAMM.

Ezra Pound
