Life is Short III

If It's Not One Thing, It's Another
No, not always. Sometimes if it's not one thing, not only is it not another, but it turns out to be something else entirely.

You Can't Win Them All
Not true. Believe it or not, there is a man somewhere in Illinois who, so far, has won them all. But don't get too excited; it has also been discovered that it is possible to lose them all. By the way, there is no record of anyone having tied them all.

You Can't Have it Both Ways
That depends on how intimately you know the other person. Maybe you can't have it both ways at once, but if you've got a little time, you can probably have it six or seven ways.

Things Have to get Better, They Can't Get Any Worse
This is an example of truly faulty logic. Just because things can't get any worse, is no reason to believe they have to get better. They might just stay the same. And, by the way, who says things can't get any worse? For many people, things get worse and worse and worse and worse.

Nobody Ever Said that Life Was Fair
I specifically remember as I was growing up, at least twelve different people, telling me life was fair. One person put it this way; "Life, you will find, is fair." Oddly enough, all twelve of those people died before the age of twenty-seven.

It Takes Two to Tango
Sounds good, but simple reasoning will reveal that actually it takes only one to tango. It does take two to tango together, maybe. But one person is certainly capable of tangoing on his own. He just might look a little silly.

There's a Sucker Born Every Minute, and Two to Take Him
This may have been true in the past, but now, if you adjust for the increased population base, birth control, and the so-called moral decline, not only are there five suckers born every minute, there are now fifty-three to take him.

What You Don't Know Won't Hurt You
Why don't we just ask Julius Caesar and John F. Kennedy about this one? ... »

So, as you can see from this post, Life is certainly not short!!
