“Gosh darn that Mickey! He is a really big fool.”
Don’t get too excited. I searched every box, trunk, bag of tricks, safe, closet, and jelly bean jar that I have in my rusty old memory. I didn’t find much. In fact, the old saying is rather applicable, “The beginning of wisdom is recognizing just how much of a fool you really are.” The little pile of bottle caps and marshmallows that represent the sum total of my wisdom is infinitely tiny compared to the vast universe of things I will never know and never understand. I am a fool. I probably have no more wisdom than you do. But I have a different point of view. It comes from years worth of turning my ideas inside out, of wearing my mental underwear on the outside of my mental pants just to get a laugh, of stringing images and stupid-headed notions together in long pointless strings like this one.

Good stuff, Mickey. Wisdom is a rather fleeting thing, I think. We do well if we become wise about just one thing in our lives. We do poorly if we think we have become wise. Pride and wisdom don’t mix.
Thanks. Your wise words are welcome.
