Well, maybe not all wisdom; some is found ni one-;etter differences.

For example, do you realize there is only one letter of difference between "laughter" and "slaughter"? So the next time you find yourself laughing recklessly and profusely, watch yourself. You are a single letter away from becoming a mass-murderer!

Yeah, well, my prime minister's name is an anagram of another guy's name: Satan. You think that's a good thing? It's politics, after all...

I'm not sure I like this game. I
punched in Zoobyshoe. One thing
that came back was "Boozy Hoes".

Another was "He Soy Bozo" which is
Spanish for "Hey I'm Bozo".

Now, granted Bozo does wear very
large shoes, about the same size
as a Zoobie shoe, but...

Well, it appears I'm "SAINT MU". So, GLENN! Now you know what 'MU' is, OK? BTW, what's NU?

Oh yeah, it also says "A! I'M NUTS" I'd have to agree. So would my friends (yeah! I have a couple!) and family (those who haven't disowned me).
