Quote of the Day!

God bless the good work  

I loved that old man. I love him more as I get older. He was meaner than a snake, ruthless and had no respect for the law, whether it was running guns, boot legging or poaching gators. Still, I can't think of anyone I'd rather have watching my six. He taught me, in his own "unique" fashion that being the kind of man someone could say that about was the most important thing a man can do with his life. That and being able say you lived on the wildside enough to never have to lie (too much ) when you were telling stories over a bottle of whiskey because your real life had been weird and entertaining enough not to require it. Not the normal advice you give to a ten year old, but I still am glad he did.

Author unknown, but I use this one quite often:

"Yeah, I may be fat but you're ugly! I can diet! What can YOU do short of plastic surgery?"

Sounds like a hell of a guy.

He really was. Smoked like a chimmney, drank like a fish, had two bullet holes in him that I know about, one pretty big scar from a gator, another from a propeller and one knife cut on his face that he claimed he "got at work" and would say nothing more about it. Given that "work" included poaching, gun running and smuggling back in the day before he settled down and worked as a store keeper, you can draw your own conclusions.  And he still made it 85.

Actually that was Winston Churchill and the real life (and confirmed) story is Bessie Braddock, Labor politician, told him:
 "Winston, you are drunk, and what's more, you are disgustingly drunk."
 Churchill: "Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly."

   and that is why I posted it the other day 

Bessie Braddock: Winston, you are drunk, and what's more, you are disgustingly drunk.
Winston Churchill: Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.
