Brainstorm for an answer before the problem is there.
Don't storm your brain with questions if struck by lightning.

[Jezya]

Behind every great woman, is a guy looking at her ass

love and lust don't always keep the same company

The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.

Love doesn’t make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

The difference between ignorance and apathy? I don't know, and I couldn't care less.

[Greebo]

Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen.

Comments, like topics, should be well considered and relevant, or at least amusing -- never opaque!

My optometrist once said something that has stuck with me ever since.

''Un tien vaut mieux que deux(2) tu l'auras''

One ''have got'' is better than two ''you shall have''

Very wise advice.

If all the top brass had had that as their maxim, we all wouldn't be in this financial meltdown.

Ssheezzz... ''Sigh''

[Trucla]

A very old and wise Arab saying that really applies to many situations:

The dogs bark and the caravan goes on!

@QcBern: (en français, car tu es du Quebec) Dans mon pays on a une vieille expréssion similaire:

Vaut mieux un oiseau dans la main que deux oiseaux volant!

We're in this situation because we have pared the Government down to the point there is no one watching for errant behavior by Corporations, Banks, Financial Institutions, Business in general)... Pass all the laws and regulations you like, with no one to enforce and oversee them Business does what it damned well pleases. The fact that business pays for our Politician's reelection doesn't help the average Joe either. Get out your guns! Pass laws that force DC to live like the average Joe and we'll finally get a break. Take ALL the money in their retirement fund, add it and their retirement package to the SS administration and that'll be fixed in short order. Cut their wages to be more in line what middle class Americans earn. Take away ALL the benefits they have enacted for themselves... Make them PAY for their medical care with the pittance most of us earn... In short Make them live as most Americans do instead as CEOs and the very elite in this country live. Only then will they get off their collective asses and do what we elected them to do!!!

I'm with you, brother! It's the same all over the so called civilized world!

LRM (Lou), there's a book that's just out that talks about precisely that :

P.S. Though somewhat applicable, something about that smiley is inappropriate. Wish that there could've been another choice to better illustrate what is meant.
