WITandWISDOM(tm) - April 30, 1998 THOUGHTS: I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso (Shared by Judy M. Robinett via INSPIRE http://www.infoadvn.com/inspire/) SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner! - Max Lucado (Shared by Bruce Bell via MONDAY FODDER by Dave in Hongkong dgaufaaa@iohk.com) THIS & THAT: GROUCHO MARX QUOTES Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Room service? Send up a larger room. Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes? Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others. He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot. I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception. A child of five could understand this. Fetch me a child of five. From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it. You know I could rent you out as a decoy for duck hunters? You've got the brain of a four-year-old boy, and I'll bet he was glad to get rid of it. One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know. I must say that I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a book. I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it. I must confess, I was born at a very early age. I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members. Either he's dead or my watch has stopped. Do you think I could buy back my introduction to you? Time wounds all heels. Whatever it is I'm against it. Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted.

The suspect was described as the son of a Barcelona ex-nun and a German father. He was a former flutist, and he worked occasionally as a farmer. In short, he was "A HAIFA-LOOTIN', FLUTIN' TEUTON, SON-OF-A-NUN FROM BARCELONA, PART-TIME PLOWBOY JOE."

Irving Berlin, for instance, only had two years of formal schooling. He never took a music lesson in his life and never learned how to read music. When he composed his songs, he would hum the melody and a musical secretary would write down the notes. He became one of the greatest songwriters the United States has ever known.
