Every time I watch a lopsided game (I thought of it tonight, watching the Astros beat the Cardinals, 17-4), I recall the wonderful quote used by Kansas City's educated and literate announcer Denny Mathews, when his Royals were losing about 22-3:
"As Mark Twain said about being tarred and feathered, "If it weren't for the honor of the thing, I wouldn't have enjoyed it at all."'
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
-----Mark Twain
In the category of Play On Words, I recall that a newspaper, I think the Milwaukee Sentinel, called it's 'Letters to the Editor' column "The Customers Always Write".
(For you younger readers, there was once a time when some businesses avowed the policy of "The customer's always right", which was a stock phrase in American commerce aeons ago to placate disgruntled clients.)
