Bessie-isms:

*Snow is amazing: it can look perfect and pristine, but if you go take a leak and come back, it’s a dirty, slushy mess.

*When someone asks, “How are you?”  don’t say fine or okay; that invites further comments. Instead, say “I’m dying in the next five minutes!” You’ll get a lot more solitude.

Quotable:

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.

Winston Churchill
