My derivative of that quotation is "I cannot run, therefore I cannot hide."
Another expression that is often used is that "if you cannot take the heat, get out of the kitchen."
My answer to this is, "I cannot get out of the kitchen, because the kitchen is too big."
It is approaching that time of the year where I am extremely uncomfortable. The temperature is going to start rising, and though some people marvel with this hot weather, it absolutely makes me especially uncomfortable.
In addition, my air-conditioner is broken, and I must wait for it to be repaired. My idea of Spartan conditions is when I have little air-conditioning, and the temperature rises. As you may have gathered, I am not much of an outdoor person, and I must train myself to get through these conditions.
Once the road, "it is a losing proposition, but one you can't refuse…"

Jimmy i just started reading your blog. i have to wonder where your love for quotations stems from. I am thinking it may have started in a high school geometry class where our teacher came up with the most crazy phrases like "this great spinning ball we call eartth". i remember the back of my notebook contained a list of some of the best phrases we heard. if you dont know who this is maybe this will jog your memory...."how are they?"
ReplyDeleteDear anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI just realized your clue, I just need one more. The phrase is so familiar, and I know I said it, but I am stumped, so need another clue.
