THIS N THAT

While you're reading the rest of this entry, practice this tongue twister I heard recently. "Irish wristwatch."  You could have a place on the radio or TV.

Every battle is won or lost before it is fought.  It's all about the "P's".  Preparation, practice and planning are paramount.

Time is too slow for those who wait; too swift for those who fear; too long for those who grieve; too short for those who rejoice; but, for those who love, time is eternity.  - - Henry Van Dyke

When you're dead, you don't know you're dead and you don't feel pain.  The pain is felt by others.  This is similar to when you're stupid.

My dad used to say, when he saw a large female,  "I'd like to have her butt full of nickles".    Now I find the a butt is a unit of liquid measure.  A butt is a kind of barrel - used for wine.  Blame all this confusion on the British.  The largest barrel is a tun.  A butt is a barrel half the size of a tun.  A barrel is a barrel that's an eighth of a tun.  I won't bother you with all the other measures.  It's enough to know that this must have caused a buttload of confusion.  No wonder we were able to kick their butts.
