The Stubblefields: Will Rogers on Constitutional Amendments:

Monday, April 18, 2005

Will Rogers on Constitutional Amendments:

“Why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as well as prohibition did, in five years Americans would be the smartest race of people on Earth.”

This reminds me of an article I read awhile back:

Will Rogers was quite whitty. I always enjoy a Rogers quote, especially those pertaining to the state.

That's, "witty." I need to continue to work on my proofreading skills.

It's all about the skills, man.

There is more to it than that, Timothy, but the skills are huge -- and crucial!

Best regards,
CS

No, I think my original comment was correct, actually.

Regards in like kind,

I hear 'ya. You are defensive, and I'm just chillin'.

Be cool,
CS

Bob is French, FYI.

Touche! Mark, I repeat: "TOUCHE!"

Thank you,
CS

No, Mr. Hayden. No touchee.

Posted by supyo1776 | April 18, 2005 4:01 PM

Incorrect use of the word, Tim. Incorrect!

Posted by Mark Stubblefield | April 18, 2005 4:06 PM

That was on purpose, Marcus. Figure it out, dude.

Posted by supyo1776 | April 18, 2005 4:13 PM

My point stands, incorrect use my friend!

Posted by Mark Stubblefield | April 18, 2005 4:19 PM

To quote a great man, "Don't question me!"

Posted by supyo1776 | April 18, 2005 4:20 PM

Wait a second, you can’t contradict me by using my own quote against me. That’s just wrong.

Posted by Mark Stubblefield | April 18, 2005 4:41 PM

To quote another great man, "I do what I like!"

Posted by supyo1776 | April 18, 2005 4:43 PM

My eyes saw "Will Rogers" in the subject line, but my brain read "Willie Nelson".

Posted by Shannon | April 18, 2005 4:47 PM

That’s really disturbing, Shannon.

I would just as soon delete my blog as post Willy Nelson quotes on it. There would be so many implications that could be very detrimental to my future if I started posting such things.

I thought that I would stop by and say hi again. So, to fulfill my thought: "Hi."

Thanks for your time,
CS

Hello, CS. It is indeed most pleasant to again be greeted by your thoughts.

Posted by supyo1776 | April 18, 2005 5:41 PM

Apparantly, Marcus, you receive the most comments when you post words that another has spoken, rather than words of your own. You might want to think deeply about that (but don't fall in).

Posted by supyo1776 | April 18, 2005 5:43 PM

Good point. And you receive the most comments when you post pictures of certain people, not when you write.

Posted by Mark Stubblefield | April 18, 2005 6:31 PM

At least marko doesn't post on all the pear grouping events he has been to!!

Posted by Anonymous | April 18, 2005 6:37 PM

Anonymous, Is that some agricultural function? I have not heard of a "pear grouping events." Maybe it's where you go to group pears?

Perplexedly,
CS Hayden

This is quite ammusing to MD Stubblefield...

Posted by Mark Stubblefield | April 18, 2005 7:17 PM

Bweee.

Sorry, Mr. Tim...

Since our family has a reputation for being late... umm... We will make the 31st comment. Mr. Roy Rogers is witty indeed.

Posted by Torres family | April 19, 2005 9:57 AM

I mean Will Rogers. Forgive me. : )

Posted by Torres family | April 19, 2005 10:01 AM

*whispers* Hey, it is Will, not Roy. But you probably knew that.

Posted by Mark Stubblefield | April 19, 2005 10:04 AM

Yep! See! You did know that. Good for you!
