Sorry, Salinger

Quoting Will Rogers

Will Rogers 
A Very Quotable Man

Why don’t they pass 
a constitutional amendment 
prohibiting anybody from learning anything? 

If it works as well as Prohibition did, 
in five years Americans would be 
the smartest race on earth.

"Hey, sleepy face. Once again, you missed Marcel DuTramp."

"What did the Poet Laureate have to say today?"

"Well, a booming voice filled the coffee house:
 WELCOME TO DECEMBER!  
 HE WAS BORN THIS MONTH.
 The baristas silenced the espresso maker
 and  everyone stood at attention."

"Then what?"

"He recited the following:
  Jesus was a Jew
  until the resurrection, you know
  then he discovered  EGO:
  I want a religion named after me!
  All he wants every Christian to do
  is remember they are all part Jew.

"He stopped right there but nobody made a sound."

"Too bad."

"Then he added All you need is love
  and everybody applauded."

"Deservedly. But shame on me because I  forgot
  he had recited that poem to me on the Jetty.

"Shame on you but all we need is love."

Tune In To Mark Twain

______________________________________________________________________________________

All the Mark Twain Quotes are from here.
More than one thousand Twain quotes are there.

Truth is stranger than fiction,
but it is because fiction is obliged
to stick to possibilities; truth isn't.
Pudd'nhead Wilson

Words are painted fire.
A look is the fire itself.
A Connecticut Yankee...

Do not offer a compliment and ask
a favor at the same time. A compliment t
hat is charged for is not valuable.
Notebook

Work consists in what a body
is obliged to do...Play consists
of whatever a body
is not obliged to do.
Tom Sawyer



There is nothing in the world like a persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus.
The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg

The lie, as a virtue, a principle, is eternal. The lie, as a recreation,
a solace, a refuge in time of need, is the 4th Grace, the 10th Muse.
On The Decay Of The Art Of Lying

Without the lie, the truth would have no place to hide.
Oliverio

I haven't a particle of confidence in a man who has no redeeming petty vices.
Answers to Correspondents

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.

Mauro Maugliani

I hope these "squatters"
become as famous as
Banksy.





Maybe, they will make

Too Personal To Call Photoverio

______________________________________________________________________________________

Lately,

I think of her

Not sixteen, like here but

Deliciously, eternally  twenty-eight

And one month

Oliverio who?  shot this…O-

Liverio who?  stood on the porch:

I know them

Vividly as our parents

Eternally tattooed memories

Recalled in every age of their lives

It is my own personal portmanteau:

Oternity!

Within seconds of this 1962 moment on our front lawn...

the brother pulled the sister down to the ground

where they had a full-blown tickle contest

on the grass.

The mother and father laughed without being tickled.

I  offered to pay for the dry-cleaning

of Linda's skirt and blouse.

Only the last sentence of this acrostic-verse

tattooed memory is pure fiction:

I was out-voted three to one

to pay the laundry bill.    

But the most important fact is this:

Without Mrs. CarPeo, the page

would not exist!

For Argument Sake, There Are Ten Conga Dancers

______________________________________________________________________________________

The following logic problem appeared last week
in the New York Times Wordplay column.

In a party there are truth-tellers and liars. At some point, 
they all form a huge conga line and start singing. 

The first one goes, “There’s at least one liar here!”
The second one goes, “There are at least two liars here!” 
And so on, until the end of the line. 
Who is lying? Who is telling the truth?
 
In a second version of the party, 
the first in line sings, “There’s exactly one liar here!”
The second goes, “There are exactly two liars here!” And so on. 
In this case, who is lying, and who is telling the truth?
 
In the third version, the first sings, “There’s at most one liar here!”
the second, “There are at most two liars here!” 
And so on. What then?
 
You may want to ignore the solutions below
until you come up with your own answers.

****



CASE 1
If there are ten dancers, the first five are telling the truth.
The fifth person is correct in stating There are AT LEAST five liars here.

The last five are lying and the lie told by the sixth person is 
There are AT LEAST six liars here....

CASE 2
If there are ten dancers, nine of them are liars.
Only the ninth person is telling the truth.
That person is correct in stating There are EXACTLY nine liars here

But the tenth person, when saying There are EXACTLY  ten liars,
is telling a lie. Everyone prior to the second-to-last dancer
is equally lying.   


CASE 3
The most difficult of the scenarios because the statement
In a party there are truth-tellers and liars. 
At some point, they all form a huge conga line and start singing...
diverts you from the correct answer.
 

If there are ten dancers, none of them are liars.
All of them are telling the truth.

For example, when the seventh person says
There are AT MOST seven liars here,
the truth is being told because
zere is less than seven. 


The so-called "liars" on the dance floor, in this scenario
did their lying elsewhere!

Amelia
we miss you

The sky did more
than kiss you

Some might ask 
is this you?

I might  say
on this day

Consider her size
Consider her skies
 
There is no reason 
to think otherwise

You did not disappear in 1937
you just detoured to heaven

Maybe there were
hard knocks
but I found you
on a utility box

What If YOU Were Offered $1Billion

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Would YOU say "Yes" only on the condition 
that YOU would accept the currency
that had not been touched 
by someone with 
the letter X 
in his/her 
name

???????????

If, instead of currency, 
the billion dollars was the value
of an art collection that once belonged to
a man who was working for Adolph Hitler...

Then X = art stolen from people of Jewish persuasion and YOU = a museum in Switzerland
