Pain is irrelevant to survival and is commonly suppressed until some time later. In order to be a factor, pain must first be perceived, and second must cause an emotional response. In many individuals, pain is ignored even when perceived, or the response is anger and increased resistance, not surrender.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

SAEED AL SAHAF - Iraqi Head of Information
The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete fabrication. We do
not even have a chicken.

GEORGE W BUSH
We don't care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the
chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either for us or
against us. There is no middle ground.

COLIN POWELL
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of
the chicken crossing the road.

TONY BLAIR
I agree with George.

HANS BLIX
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been
allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

DR SEUSS
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

MARTIN LUTHER KING,! JR
I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without
having their motives called into question.

GRANDPA
In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us
the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

RONALD REAGAN
What chicken?

SIGMUND FREUD
The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road
reveals your underlying s*xual insecurity.

BILL GATES
eChicken2003 will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your
important documents, and balance your checkbook - and Internet Explorer is
an integral part of eChicken2003.

ALBERT EINSTEIN
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the
chicken?

BILL CLINTON
What is your definition of chicken?

COLONEL SANDERS
Did I miss one?

Speaking of Chickens....

Q: "Why did the pervert cross the road?"
A: "He was stalking the chicken!"

Q: "What is the similarity between an elephant and a wheelbarrow?"
A: "Neither can climb trees!"

The elephant joke was made up by my grandfather after a discussion about who made up all the elephant jokes - he was determined to be the originator of at least one elephant joke !

This is my Motto!

LIFE

LIFE IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE
WITH THE INTENTION OF ARRIVING SAFELY
IN A PRETTY AND WELL-PRESERVED BODY,
BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE,
THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT,
AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING...
"WOW! WHAT A RIDE!"

I believe this is a Russian proverb:
"Measure your cloth twice as you can only cut it once"
I reminded myself of this one today as I was cutting into a $477 sheet of 1/4" mild steel. My God, have you priced steel lately? It is now twice what it was a year ago.

I think that the "Remain silent and be thought a fool..." quote is from Mark Twain aka Samuel Clemens.

Actually, BAZ, the 1/4" steel plate is for re-flooring a garbage truck. Lovely little project. Were I re-skinning the GT I'd be using
1/2"T-1.
Which reminds me. "Walk softly and carry a big stink" Cheech and Chong, from The Three Little Pigs, (Three Different Ones)

...more quotes from my personal collection.

"Taxonomy, i.e. the classification of the natural world, is a system of order imposed by man and not an objective reflection of nature. Its categories are actively applied and contain the assumptions, values and associations of human society."
