I follow a group on Facebook called Contrived Platitudes. They're fun. Most of them mock the underlying hubris and deepity in motivational quotes plastered on, usually, nature scenery. Here's a taste:
"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool." - Richard P. Feynman

During COVID lockdown take up David Carradine knot tying as a hobby.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Years ago I went to work for a vehicle fleet maintenance company as their bookkeeper. The owner/boss was giving me the grand tour and introducing me to the guys who worked there. While walking back up to the front offices he looked at me and in all seriousness said, "Stay away from Mikey, he's trouble."
Mikey and I have been married over 28 years.

But do you stay away from him?
And is he trouble?
