Quote of the day:

He who plants a garden plants happiness.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime, plant a garden.
- Chinese Proverbs
( from Leikur og List)

Joke - (for the girls) from Reading Matters:

One morning a man returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.

Although not familiar with the lake, his wife decides to take  the boat out.

She motors out a short distance, anchors and  reads her book.

Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, thinking, "Isn't that obvious?"

"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."

"Have a nice day ma'am," he says before leaving pronto.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

From the Internet and NPR (but really from Tom, who told me about it):

Hm ... lovely lazy Sunday and blogging travels ... come to think of it, I haven't done this in quite awhile ...

Hi Winston!
No Winston-bashing is allowed on my blog! In any event I once wrote a post at my Tamarika blog about the fact that no one becomes very controversial at this site:

So, you are safe - completely safe.

In the worst case scenario of end game possibilities, the gravest and most devastating threat to man is not global warming, tectonic chaos, famine, or even himself, but a woman that thinks.

Hi Tamar! I, of course, do not believe that myself, but read it somewhere recently and just decided to throw it out here. Should be good for a few hours of controversial comments and Winston bashing...
