25 or 6 to 4.

Unsoundness of mind is an ameliorative but not necessary part of employment in this location.

You have to be crazy to work here.

My anger is similar to the promised afterlife of those who have acted inappropriately during life, and I am no longer going to receive it into my possession.

I'm mad as "heck" and I ain't going to take it no more.

Harmonies contain the magical properties to send into meditative calm the upper abdomenal cavity that is least civilized.

Floggings will continue until morale improves.

The devil is in the details.

A female denied expected romantic attachments is more prone to destructive violence than the Nordic goddess whom is queen of Niflheim.

ps. Sterling, correct sir.

Close enough. [Smile] It's actually:

Colder than a Witch's Teat.

If you are able to confuse or misdirect me a single time than the dishonor is yours, yet if you were to misdirect or confound upon more than once instance, the dishonor falls to me.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

What is the quantity of the hard, fibrous substance comprising most of the stem and branches of a tree or shrub that a stocky North American burrowing rodent would be able to throw, were such a creature capable of throwing such a substance?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?



At those times that the Magi come together in a body, the state of the atmosphere with respect to heat or cold, wetness or dryness, calm or storm, clearness or cloudiness is frequently the topic of studious conversation. Because one or some indiscriminate number have the ability to detect if the current precipitation is of a frozen or room-temperature nature. However, should passerby query as to the future possibility of alteration in the current atmospheric state, simultaneously they chorus, "Atmospheric state is atmospheric state, regardless!"

Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot
Whatever the weather we'll weather the weather
Whether we like it or not.

But it doesn't fit. Urk.

No, it doesn't. But it's definitely on the right track. If no one figures it out by mid-morning (or whenever I manage to get on during work), I'll post it. It may be too obscure. [Dont Know]

When the wise men gather together, they wisely speak of the weather.
For any of them can see weather: whether it's rain, or whether it's snow.
But if anyone asks them weather -- whether there will be change in the weather --
Then they all answer together, "Weather is weather, whether or no!"


(It's an old kids' song.)
