Maxims of Ben Franklin
He that is rich need not live sparingly, and he that can live sparingly need not be rich.

The heart of a fool is in his mouth, but the mouth of a wise man is in his heart.

Kings and bears often worry their keepers.

a Popeye and Olive mythical moment or...

(because myth is a terrible thing to waste!)

Humor JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

Old Gentleman_ (to driver of street-car): "My friend, what do you do with your wages every week--put part of it in the savings bank?"

Driver:_ "No, sir. After payin' the butcher an' grocer an' rent, I pack away what's left in barrels. I'm 'fraid of them savin's banks."

A Chicago man who has recently returned from Europe was asked by a friend what he thought of Rome.

"Well," he replied, "Rome is a fair-sized town, but I couldn't help but think when I was there that she had seen her best days."

Mythopoetry
from The Deacon's Masterpiece by Oliver Wendel Holmes
or the wonderful 'one-hoss shay!'

A LOGICAL STORY
Have you heard of the wonderful one-hoss shay That was built in such a logical way, It ran a hundred years to a day, And then, of a sudden, it--ah, but stay, I'll tell you what happened without delay, Scaring the parson into fits, Frightening people out of their wits---- Have you ever heard of that, I say? Seventeen hundred and fifty-five. _Georgius Secundus_ was then alive---- Snuffy old drone from the German hive. That was the year when Lisbon-town Saw the earth open and gulp her down, And Braddock's army was done so brown, Left without a scalp to its crown. It was on the terrible Earthquake day That the Deacon finished the one-hoss shay. (con't/ ...scroll down)

JAMES T. FIELDS THE OWL-CRITIC A Lesson to Fault-Finders

"Who stuffed that white owl?" No one spoke in the shop: The barber was busy, and he couldn't stop; The customers, waiting their turns, were all reading The Daily, The Herald, The Post, little heeding the young man who blurted out such a blunt question; not one raised a head or even made a suggestion; and the barber kept on
shaving.

"Don't you see, Mister Brown," Cried the youth, with a frown, "How wrong the whole thing is, how preposterous each wing is, how flattened the head is, how jammed down the neck is-- In short, the whole owl, what an ignorant wreck 'tis! I make no apology; I've learned owl-eology. I've passed days and nights in a hundred collections and cannot be blinded to any deflections arising from unskillful fingers that fail to stuff a bird right from his beak to his tail. Mister Brown! Mister Brown! Do take that bird down, Or you'll soon be the laughing-stock all over town!" And the barber kept on shaving. (con't)
