The crude often like to be thought of as “candid,” but so too do some alligators want to be taken as fashionable leather accessories.
The inspiring credo of one swampy school was:
“The Human Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Wear Around Your Waist,
Or Carry In Your Back Pocket.”
Upon reaching, again, the familiar end of his daily rope of exasperation, a man exclaimed to his all-too-routine consciousness, “And to think of the many years I have called you my friend.” To which, in candor it replied, “Then to reflect on the many years you’ve been your own fool.”
