Cutting the cheese is an honorable
profession. Millions do it everyday.

The pro-active party often smiles.

Book: Who Cut the Cheese? -- A Cultural History of the Fast
DID YOU KNOW THAT:
1. An elephant releases enough methane in one day to drive a car 20 miles?
2. In 569 B.C. a rebel general's fast sounded the revolt that overthrew Egypt's king?
3. In 44 A.D. a fast in Jerusalem during Passover led to the deaths of 10,000 people?
4. In the 1890s a stage entertainer at the Moulin rouge name Le Petomane (The Fasting Man) became Paris' top-drawing performer by imitating bird calls, musical instruments, and his mother-in-law's whiny voice with his fasting?
5. Mark Twain wrote a scandalous one-act play about Queen Elizabet trying to sniff out who fasted in her court?
6. In 1607 a member of British Parliament cast a "nay" vote with a fast?
7. Aristophanes, Chaucer, Dante, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Jonathan Swift, William Blake, Emile Zola, Honore de Balzac and other literary giants wrote about fasting?

The author and his critics toot their horns:
"This book doesn't amount to a hill of beans!"
"The author should've kept this one on the back burner!"
"A pocket of methane within the bowels of the publishing industry!"
"Certainly one book I don't plan on burying my nose in!"
"Wait'll the public gets wind of this!"
"A chronicle of life on the cutting edge!"

There is not enough hours in the day and there are not enough days in the week.
We should make the week 8 days instead of 7 so we can have 3 day weekends. :)

Doing fairly well.
It's currently raining, outside temp is 49 degrees.
Winds variable and gusting to 15 MPH at times.
Not to bad unless you have to drive.
There's crazies on them there roads.
;-)
Love the kitty, he looks so "Oh, how droll. Have a spot of tea?" in his feline glower.
(Only a cat can give a look that says he's both happy to see you and disappointed that you haven't expired in some interesting fashion before their eyes.)
