or that other thing either <work>

on you stinkers/thinkers/drinkers whoever you are....less thought here, please
Let me think about that ...
I thinks, therefore i yam
I think I've heard that somewhere before!
Mayhap, i don't claim no originality . . .
You can lead a horticulture,
But you can't make her think . . .

Dorothy Parker's misanthropy
Oh good! A new category for me to add!
Miss Parker had rather unhappy relationships with men, and she reported to her circle at the Algonquin one day that she'd had a dream the night before, in which she had realized the vital differences between men and women, and had written it down immediately. When she arose that morning, she read:
Higgamous hoggamous
Women are monogamous
Hoggamous higgamous
Men are polygamous
This might be a slight misquote, but i've always loved it. Thomas Reed, of Maine, was Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1889-1891. He was famous for breaking fillibusters, and other obstructive acts, and kept the business of the house moving along. One day, a member from Indiana stood, and began to speak dramatically:
"I was thinking, Mr. Speaker, I was thinking . . . "
"A commendable innovation on the part of the gentleman from Indiana. The chair recognizes the gentleman from South Carolina . . ."
That might not have been a dream!
At Quaker meetings for worship individuals are to speak if they receive a message from god. A Firend of mine is fond of saying that when someone stands to speak and say, "I have been thinking you can be pretty sure it is not a message from god".
"Ain't nothing good or bad except thinkin' about it."

Call me thoughtless, but to parapraise William, it's heads you win & tails the divil takes your hind end. I don't like the odds.
