    I always loved these passages, as they really conjured up some interesting mind pictures for me.............lol.............

    Proverbs 26:17 (New International Version)
    17 Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own.

    Proverbs 11:22
    Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion. Proverbs 21:9
    Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

    During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

    Store clerks! You should not be on the phone when you’re waiting on me. When I, the customer, walk up to the counter, the phone should be put down. And if it rings while you’re waiting on me, let it ring. After ten rings, pick it up, and, without even saying hello, say, "I’m currently waiting on an actual, paying customer who has money and has had the courtesy to come into the store to transact business. I will get to you when the store is empty. Stay on the line if you wish, but I may not get to you till sundown." Then smile at me and say, "Where were we?" The in-store customer should always come first.

    - George Carlin

    "Too bad that all the people who know how to run this country are busy driving taxis and cutting hair" -George Burns.

    Of course these days you could add "posting on internet forums" to that list of occupations
