farkle--small technical issue. not going to bother me.

I am particularly fond of Samuel Clemens.

A few of his quotes.>>


Always tell the truth; then you don't have to remember anything.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When in doubt, tell the truth.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Truth is more of a stranger than fiction.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction after all, has to make sense.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A good lie will have travled half way around the world while the truth is putting on her boots.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You take the lies out of him, and he'll shrink to the size of your hat; you take the malice out of him, and he'll disappear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, ... it doesn't matter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
