Busted Flat
I’m hoping in our collective memories that we get our priorities right.
It is the things Winston Churchill said once that have more importance.
I once said “You can’t see the pigs for the clocks.”
Where’s my bust in the white house?
Ok – it was a spoonerism. I meant to say you can’t see the clock for the pigs.
I was looking at a pig covered clock at the time.
The White House picks up on those kind of mistakes. That must be the reason.
Enthusiastic Failures
I also said “Success consists of going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”
more times than Winston Churchill did in his life.
I have never said “pass the butter.” as Churchill did every single day.
You know why?
I organise things better than Churchill.
I have the butter near enough on the table relative to the length of my arms.
I just have that kind of brain.
Are you a better butter getter than Churchill or are you equally hopeless?
Welcome to another one liner wednesday
This is more than a one-liner but it is Wednesday.
Does it have anything to do with being taller vertically than horizontally?

From the size of him, I’m guessing Winnie was a better butter getter than us all.
I’ve heard he built brick walls as a hobby, do you suppose he used butter for mortar?

Didn’t know that. Just know he drank with each meal and worked out with napping he got 3 days work for the price of two.

Indeed… I’m a font of useless knowledge like that.

I tend to be near the butter. I also tend to see failure as a stepping stone, albeit often to more failure, but sometimes to success, or more butter.

But does the success of butter,butter,butter lead to a crisis eventually? Successful butter not being what we thought,when we first started our butter days

I understand that Churchill missed saying his infamous “pass the butter” every second Tuesday. He used the saved time to have extra power naps!

In true blonker form, I beat the drum with enthusiasm for more and better butter getting. Thanks for the laugh.

I keep my butter in my pants pocket where it can do the most good.

Good for emergencies. You can just slap it on the table. Then bring out the butter.

Proper planning and such. The one who sets the butter on the table chooses its location. Of course “pass the butter” with an evil eye also works expeditiously on the kids…

In America I found there’s far more passing around at mealtimes , the English way is ‘you get what you’re given’ 🙂
