Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 13, 2011

Look before you leap.He who hesitates is lost.

Make up your mind people.

My mother was the queen of aphorisms.

I once told her she had two for every occasion — one for each side.

Absence make the heart grow fonder/Out of sight, out of mind.

Some, while not related, still answered the same question opposite ways….

ie “Do I need to finish this now?”

Yes = Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today.

No = All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

When I was a kid it drove me crazy!

Balance. It’s all about balance. To everything there is a season (turn, turn, turn).

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”

How about – Two heads are better than one, but, Too many cooks spoil the broth.But, indeed, you have the answer, Fritzoid.

This is mostly off topic, but… how about comparative lyrics.I’ve always found it irritatingly ironic that the very same guy who sang a “sad but true” warning about Runaround Sue turned right around and boasted about being “The Wanderer” who kissed and loved and hugged and squeezed ‘em, but to him they were all the same and they didn’t even know his name. Oh, the hilarious hypocrisy!

“Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes.” — Walt Whitman

I just like the comment about comparative lit. Most English majors can appreciate that!And for more encouragement on an English major, hunt up Zilch the Torysteller at ren faires: hilarious fun and a good warning.

Familiarity breeds contempt.Familiarity breeds.

“Comparative Lit….?”Like, um, Zippo is to Bic like matches is to flint..?

The guy who wrote “Everything I Ever Needed to Know, I Learned in Kindergarden” said he liked to wear two buttons on his coat at the same time:“Trust me, I’m a teacher”“Question authority”

The engineering major asks: How does that work. The science major asks: why does that work. The English major asks: You want fries with that. Majoring in English will ruin pulp fiction for you and leave you with nothing to do at the beach.

There are two versions of the Grasshopper and the Ant… in one, the ant shuts the door on the grasshopper and leaves him to starve, since it was his own fault. In the other, the grasshopper takes pity on him and brings him inside and feeds him. Justice vs. mercy.

comparative lit majors are the biggest waste of tuition money that parents can do.

Here’s one, you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you cannot pick your friend’s noses.
