CelticDuke:
I've arrived back at my humble abode from a profitable day of wagering on the speed of horsey types of livestock to find my bride of "lo, these fleeting years" asleep in the bed.
Gadzooks, but it's foine to have her home......so she can fix my breakfast and clean the house.......gggg
I've taken a brief respite from the cares of the evening to read the posts on SI which were written since my departure to the money tree.
It's very hard for me to quit laughing and to post these serious thoughts, for all on TSO seem to have attended a party which I've missed.
All the posters have been in high spirits,
are making jests
and seemingly are light hearted in their thoughts.
into this same atmosphere, I interject some ozone----
--->It's an interesting school of thought but obviously foolish and ego-driven.
This sentence could well have been uttered by a number of my most favorite posters on S I on a plethora of different subjects.
---- my observations about most of the informative and dedicated participants from whom I learn on these various threads.......
all are of large ego.
most have a short fuse.
sharing seems to come naturally as a method of learning more.
all have this outlook in common ----
-------- " feel free to curse me,
---------------feel free to call me a fool,
-------------------feel free to make light of my contributions,
--but SMILE when you say it,
-------or I'll knock your head off you ignorant SOB" ..........GGGGG
Heck, I'm going to dump my winnings in a corner of the room and go to bed.
Mayhaps, I best leave a note to Red in the bathroom
(her first destination in early morning)
to watch her step on the way to the kitchen
(her second destination in early morning),
should she awaken before I do, so she doesn't break a leg stumbling on the mound of lucre........
just to share with my cyberfriends------
here is how it's done----
Rule # 1
( from Nemer's private collection)
----if you bet on the fastest horse, you'll win most of the time.
----if you bet on the best horse, you'll win most of the time....
BUT
------if you bet on the winner------you'll win ALL the time.......
