… Calvin Coolidge

Strange Advice

Be careful of your virtues; they may turn out to be vices.

Yugoslavian Proverb

He who picks up a thorn on the road has one less sin, for had he stepped on it, he would have cursed.

From the Word Lab

Kil»in the name of places means a “cell, cloister, or chapel.”

Kilbarchan»(Scotland),»Kil-bara-cin, the kil on the hilltop

Kilcrin»(Ireland), the little kil

Kildare»is»Kil-dara, the “kil of the oak.” St. Bridget built her first cell under a large oak.

Kilham»(Yorkshire), the chapel close

Daffy-nition

Man: One who wishes he were as wise as he thinks his wife thinks he is.

A Toast

Here’s to Dan Cupid, the little squirt,

He’s lost his pants, he’s lost his shirt,

He’s lost most everything but his aim

Which shows that love is a losing game.

What’s in a Name?

Shenloogian: Persian and Turkish in derivation, identified as a descriptive term, shenloog, a variant of shenlough, is defined as glad, cheerful, happy.
