You're right about daylight savings time though - it's like cutting a foot off one end of the blanket and sewing it on the other end in order to make the blanket longer.

I don't mind at all! I saw it in a newspaper cartoon many, many years ago and the image has stuck in my head since then.
I suppose I should have credited the cartoon, although at this point, I couldn't begin to guess who the creator was.

nah, just about everything witty has probably already been said by someone, somewhere [I'd surreptitiously insert an Oscar Wilde quote here, but I'm supposed to be working] - but we can't go round citing everything we say & explaining where we saw it. As far as I'm concerned, it's a quote from Lady Scott †, as seen on 3N. My apologies if I don't always remember to cite you though....

Don't worry about crediting me!

Cat-Eyes; we certainly won't be able to hear you scream if you faint from hunger... I hope you've eaten by now!

But what if something important accidentally got slipped in when nobody was looking--on a Thursday morning, for instance?

Don't bother trying to get Paul, Red...
Despite our best efforts to convert him, he refuses to come over to the ways of Thingism, and instead only drops by from time to time to harass us. 
Key: Complain about this post
