Grass-Roots Philosophy #1

Shared with you from my achives of long, long ago. Some things never change. Hope you enjoy these as much as I did when first discovered. Real life: In Hollywood, it seems easy to shift dears. Pay back: The height of frustration. The wife who finds a letter she gave her husband to mail three months before in the coat that has been home ever since - waiting for a button to be sewed on. Sign in lumber yard: Come see, come saw. It comes down to this: Borrowing neighbors will take anything but a hint. Hearts are diamonds: Card games can be expensive, but so is any game where you hold hands. Touch of genius: They laughed at Watt, too, until he invented the Watt Schmacallit. Timeless: It would be interesting to hear today's teen tell their children what they had to do without. Voting: A process of standing in line to help decide which party will spend your money. Bears repeating: The worst moment for an atheist is when he feels grateful and he has no one to thank. The Long and Short of It: If all the economists were placed end to end, they wouldn't reach a conclusion. Getting the business: It's a tough world for the American businessman. Every time he comes up with something new, the Japanese invent it a week later and the Chinese make it cheaper. Watch 'em count: If you don't think your children can count, try giving them different allowances. Think of it: Rush hour is called that time of day when traffic moves at a snail's pace. With or without drugs: Experimenters say that with the aid of drugs you can enter a world where everything is blurred, unfamiliar, and fantastic. Well, at a certain age you can achieve the same result by misplacing your glasses. Thanks for visiting. -- Bob
