Saying

Over the last months, I've had the pleasure of hearing lots of sayings. I've spent time in new places and from these new places have sprung forth sayings that keep rumbling around in my head.

"It's not how the world works, but how you work in the world" -From an email that my brother sent me in response to my fretting about the state and fate of the world and the beings in it.

"I want to make sure we're all singing off of the same song sheet."- First uttered by my ad director in a corporate meeting when she was going into detail about a spreadsheet. I use this one all the time now.

"Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable." -Said by keynote speaker Martin Sheen at the annual Michigan ACLU fund raiser dinner that I got to go to last Saturday.

"Watch yourself, this could made a goat walk backward." -A warning given to me by a Southerner while handing me a mighty strong cup of coffee.

"Arrogance is ignorance matured." Another Martin Sheen saying.


Funniest things in subject lines of spam email that landed in my email box:

"Pediatrics Taster"
"I would try spraying him before you have him neutered"
"Nobody will know about your problems"
"Be untensil into battery"
"His conyers will brasstown"
"On himself recurring"
"There are no difference!"
