others, but it is seldom a mistake.
- H. L. Mencken
Reality is so continuous and pervasive, so solid, impenetrable,
inscrutable, so real, that it is virtually impossible for the mind
to grasp the simple fact that what we call REALITY is an illusion,
a construct, a schema devised by the mind to explain the
phenomenon and mystery of life.
- Floyd Arnold
"There are many questions which fools
can ask that wise men cannot answer.’

The Irishman's Wish
An Irishman is sitting at the end of a bar. He sees a lamp at the end of the table. He walks down to it and rubs it. Out pops a genie. It says, "I will give you three wishes."
The man thinks awhile. Finally he says, "I want a beer that never is empty."
With that, the genie makes a poof sound and on the bar is a bottle of beer. The Irishman starts drinking it and right before it is gone, it starts to refill. The genie asks about his next two wishes.
The man says, "I want two more of these."
"Prosperity is full of friends."
- Euripides
"The consumer isn't a
moron; she is your wife."
- David Ogilvy
