Wise words, that have followed me through my life! So long, I've only had a single encounter with drugs, and never had an accident in the streets (though I've come close to, twice). It is just the part of women that I haven't mastered yet, and never believe I will! What can I say. It is not as if I'm the only man on the planet who has not mastered the art of reading a woman's mind.
But I digress! The issue for writing this post is to share with you the words of a not so famous Greek expat in West Africa. Words that I return to on difficult times.
The gentleman has called a subordinate to his office to give him a piece of his mind for something that was done contrary to his instructions.
The subordinate is trying all sort of excuses to cover up for his mistake in a vain attempt to pull the proverbial wool over the manager's eyes.
Frustrated for not being able to find the cause of the breakdown in communication, at the end of his tether with listening to stupid excuses the manager lashes out:
"You think I know fuck nothing? I know fuck all!"
True words of wisdom! Words that are etched to my mind forever....

Well, as for women. We baffle ourselves sometimes, so don't be too hard on yourself! :)
Oh Hollygl, give me some credit! It was not me who said the phrase. It was a guy working there the same time with my dad!
I am so going to use that line next time I get into an argument at work. Perfect!
The thing you always have to remember about women...is that they're all psycho! You get that straight and then it all makes sense. ;)
Hey Hey now you GUYS! (I could same the same....)
That line was great though...wish I could use it here...nobody'd understand me....:(

More wise words from mom...."Just 'cause there's a hole there doesn't mean you have to stick anything in it."
I've been telling the boy that since he was about 2 and figure it's just as applicable now that he's entering the teen age years. :D
Hi Alice! Good of you to drop by! Your words are like the Greek old saying "be carefull where you put your d..c and your signature". It's crude, I know, but very wise!!! ;)
Man, now I've got two great sayings out of this post. They're already in the Moleskine. :)
