    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    I know, I know. I remember way back when you used to go after your opponents with a (verbal) baseball bat if they wrote something that really irked you. Until you decided it was time for some anger management. The result has been remarkable and I still admire you for this, for your capacity to control yourself, change your style and stick to it. Many of your posts are a credit to this forum, and if not, then at least they are well-written and funny.

    Certainly funnier than my joke above.

    Awww, you're me blush. I think, ironically, the two young ladies in my life, Miss Jillian and Miss Allison, taught me how to grow up.

    As for being funny, you're just tickled by my camel joke in the front room.
