exposing cavities in wisdom teeth

Conventional wisdom is frequently but half a truth - conventional, yes; wisdom, mmhmm.

So stop seizing the day. It’ll make for a very crappy diem. How would you like it if your ass were seized? (there, that was totally gender neutral). You might get a frozen ass but generally you’d be startled and pissed off, and are likely to retaliate. That’s what the seized day would be. Do you now get why your days suck?

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Please fuck off. My wife is a doctor. She and I live in different cities. And I rarely eat apples.

I do not want to use a stone on any bird let alone two of them. There’s a high likelihood these days that they’re the last of their kind coz too many jerks followed this dumbass adage literally.

When I was a kid, the locality would get together once an year and have a lot of fun as a community. Or intend to do so. Among the fun events would be the lemon race a.k.a. spoon race in which the enthusiastic participants would spoon a lemon while they ran (that was what I thought spooning was for many long years) without dropping either spoon or lemon, sack race which had people behaving like bunnies in a sack (no, really hopping furiously to the line with a sack up to their waist; not that other thing), and slow cycling where the winner was the slowest cyclist to get across the line without putting a foot on the ground. That is the only time the slow and steady wins the race. And the real winner did not even race! For the eagle and the human both hare and tortoise make a hearty meal.

Two heads are not better than one; they’re a terrible birth defect and are likely to be the death of you if you are born that way. One is just right; and even that on most of us is bad enough.

A picture often needs more than a thousand words especially if it’s out of focus or is outlandish art. And sometimes even that doesn’t suffice to clear its obscureness.

What’s the point of being late and missing your flight/train/bus? It might as well be never. There are exceptions but those are tragedies that I’d rather not bring up.

God helps those who help themselves? It sure explains how and why politicians and corporate crooks keep getting away with “helping themselves”. Divine comedy, of sorts, this one.

Bad idea more often than not to do it yourself if you want it done right. Bring in the experts please. You can at least take them apart if they screw up. It’s very satisfying.

Laughter is most definitely not the best medicine if you have a bad bout of cough or a screwed up back or have been freshly stitched up. As the song goes, bad medicine.

Ignorance is bliss, huh? Hmmm...not when you’re in the middle of a lonely road late night in the sole and uncomfortable company of a car, your car, with a burst tyre and you are ignorant of which is a nut (you) and which a bolt. Ignorance is not bliss but is possibly endless mirth for others who love nothing better than a dolt make a fool of self.

Try telling a chemistry buff there’s no smoke without a fire and they might prove the worth of knowledge and thereby the danger of your smug ignorance. Very painfully.

No man’s an island. We proved that wrong, hell yeah! living as we do now our insular lives.

For most people worms are not very appetising. That is no motivation to be an early anything, least of all a bird which anyway by sheer dint of being one is at high risk of extinction.

You don’t parry with a pen when the other party carries a gun. Swords are relics. Pens are relics too. Their might - absolute or relative - is light.

We should all retire right away. We’ll have plenty of time and therefore plenty of money...if that bit of conventional wisdom is wisdom indeed.

I should shut up now because...
