In view of some of the heated emotions and strife on this board in recent days, I would like to offer a proverb or two to reflect on.
Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise. – Proverbs 17.28
Where ever you go, if you look over your shoulder, there’s your butt right behind you! – peteinmn 
Please feel free to add your own gems of wisdom that will add to the peace and tranquility of Dale and our beloved board.

As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. --Proverbs 26:11
may peace and sanity prevail.
It has long been the preogative of fools to tell the king that he has no clothes; but, the fool remains a fool, and the king remains a king.
-Neil Gaiman
“Show your command of the English language by saying nothing at all.” – Penny Berktold
To be loved, you have to be nice to others EVERYDAY! To be hated, you don’t have to do squat.
– Homer Jay Simpson, giving advice to Mr. Burns
PRO-VERBS - verbs that play for money
MarkB
God bless those pagans.
– More from Homer J.
Oh. I thought pro-verbs were verbs with a positive attitude (like “hug”), as opposed to con-verbs (like “punch”, “curse”, etc.).
I’ve never heard of CONVERBS! So I did a google and found this website dealing with Mongolian converbs!
http://membres.lycos.fr/brunogml/poppe/po365.htm
Quoted from the above link:
“General Remarks
365. The converbs do not serve as predicates of complete sentences, but only as attributes of verbs, indicating the manner in which the action is being performed, or as logical (not grammatical) predicates of word groups rendered in European languages as subordinate clauses.
The converbs are classified into two groups: the genuine and the pseudoconverbs. The former are fossilized oblique case forms of verbal nouns; the latter are, from the historical viewpoint, purely verbal forms.
The genuine and pseudo-converbs manifest a syntactical difference: while the actor is always designated by the nominative case in constructions with pseudo-converbs he can, under certain circumstances, be designated by the genitive (or accusative) in constructions with genuine converbs.
The genuine converbs are the following : converbum terminale, converbum abtemporale, converbum contemporale, converbum successivum, converbum finale, and converbum praeparativum. The pseudo-converbs are: converbum conditionale, converbum concessivum, converbum imperfecti, converbum modale, and converbum perfecti.”
So we now have pro, con, pseudo verbs, and fossilized oblique forms of verbal nouns, this hanglish is wierd.

Arguments are to be avoided-they are always vulgar and often convincing.
Oscar Wilde
A man must take due caution when he is dressing in the dark, that when he goes to put on black boxers (especially if they have black labels), that he first check to see if the fly is facing the right direction otherwise he could spend the day fishing around when he really hasn’t got the time to do so.

Yes. Everybody should not win.
A friend of mine goes swimming each morning and takes a pair of underwear with him to change and get ready for work. One morning, in the dark, he mistakenly took a pair of his wife’s underwear to the pool. Oh my.
