Number 217 - June 2001
Just For Grins
From Langa List 03/01/2001
    Ray Terry sends along this list:

     If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
     A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
     Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
     For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.
     He who hesitates is probably right1
     Never do card tricks for the group you play poker with.
     Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view2
     The colder the X-ray table, the more of your body is required on it.
     The hardness of the butter is proportional3 to the softness of the bread.
     The severity of the itch is proportional3 to the reach.
     Don't sweat petty things. ..or pet sweaty things.
     Hell hath no fury like the lawyer of a woman scorned.
     Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

TOGGLE Meddler's Notes:
    1 Or a malapropism: He who lossitates is het.
    2 Corollary: That neat computer program you wrote works properly when you are alone--never when you demonstrate it
    3 inversely proportional works better here

    and one of our own;

    Strange bedfellows sometimes come to the same collusion.
