While mowing the lawn last evening, a thought occured to me that maybe AA should adopt the following motto:
Many will enter, few will win.
It seems to work for all the contests I hear on the television when they try to suck the kids in to entering some sweepstakes.
I see so many people come and go and wonder why can’t they get it. Maybe it relates to the Lindberg quote for today. I heard the following variant which makes sense:
One foot in yesterday, one foot in tomorrow, and you’re pissing all over today.
