You are correct.

Mark wrote, "You are correct."

This news has come as a shock; I am going to lie down in a darkened room for a while.

You are correct. You have been known to be wrong in the past.




Whim

Whim ran the following up the flag pole, "You are correct. You have been known to be wrong in the past."

Ouch! You sure know how to kick a guy when he is down. Do not forget the old saying, "Two wrongs make a right". Therefore, after one wrong, I quickly make another to make it right.

Did I say down? I meant up. Life is sweet. Still the shock made me forget to post today's offering;

People have tried to take things with a grain of salt since Roman times, when Pompey claimed to have discovered a poison antidote that needed to be taken with a grain of salt. I suppose that after a few deaths by poisoning following his briny remedy, some people may have doubted his medical credentials.
