Penny for your thoughts
« on: September 16, 2008, 21:47 »
One night a wife found her husband standing over their baby's crib. Silently
she watched him. As he stood looking down at the sleeping infant, she saw on his
face a mixture of emotions: disbelief, doubt, delight, amazement, enchantment,
skepticism.

Touched by this unusual display and the deep emotions it aroused, with eyes
glistening she slipped her arm around her husband.

“ A penny for your thoughts," she said.
“ It's amazing!" he replied. "I just can't see how anybody can make a crib
like that for only $46.50."

Imported from China.  We British woodworkers are constantly being undercut  >:( .
There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is readily adopted.

 :aarrgh:  Sometimes it pays not to ask.
Those who can make you believe absurdities,
can make you commit atrocities.
