Just a General Comment

Reading some threads over the last several months, I'm reminded about a saying. Wish I knew who to give credit to for its origin.

"Never put on paper anything you would not want read in public".

Allan

[Colston Newton]

The threads remind me of another saying that is quite reassuring to me as a newspaper editor:

"Never argue with a man who has an unlimited supply of paper and unlimited supply of ink."

[Jim Hatch]

Hey Allan,

I attribute the quote to Bea Skipsey,
my 8th grade civics teacher. That's the
exact words she used whenever she caught
anyone passing notes in class just before
she had them come up front and share them
with everyone.*G* Warm regards, Jim

Hi Jim,

Wow, guess I should have said "an OLD saying"! (LOL)

Reminded of what my dad told me "never let your Aligator mouth over load your Hummin bird butt"

rich

the version of your post that was used in my old neighborhood was -

"don't let your mouth write a check your body can't cash"

grumps,

My 'old neighborhood' was Brooklyn, NY. Yours?

Rich...My dad always said, "Don't let your alligator mouth overload your "tadpole" a**"! I did so a few times, anyway.

[D. Micus]

my dear uncle used to say "you can't shine s**t" not sure if it's relevant to this post, but it's a great saying!
