Let's face it, Whack-a-Mole is fun, but not for two weeks. Clearly
the Moles will always pop up for more; but I should think the Whacker
would eventually tire of the game. (The respective identities of the
whackers and the whackees are, of course, subjective.:-)

So, I'll offer only a quote variously attributed to Albert Einstein
and Ben Franklin (and likely the work of neither) that:

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results."


If at first you donīt succeed, then try and try again.


A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.


Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's
opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

"Quotations are the distilled spirit of wisdom--or of foolishness.
Distilled spirits are harsh on the tongue of the neophyte and are liable to
addle the wits even of the adept. They should be used sparingly and with
good judgment."
