Here, have a word! Take your pick: god, dog, truth, turd. Whichever words fits your palm, and your mouth. If you're using a pooper-scooper, choose " turd. " If you're on your knees in prayer, choose " god. " If you're a madman, you can pray to " turd, " and scoop up " god. " Don't get mixed up by words. There's a right one for every occasion. Choose wisely, or choose madly, or madly wise, be chosen. If you don't choose, words will form your mouth in the proper ways to allow themselves entry into the world of human communications. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
