You can complain that rose bushes have thorns or you can be happy that thorn bushes have roses. It’s all how you look at it. Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.
6 in one, 1/2 dozen the other.... Had to explain that one to a young 20-something coworker today when I dropped the saying on him in conversation.
Yeah. My buddy called me (lunchtime) New Years eve to look at a leak on his water meter. Said he had to empty the bucket twice a day. It was leaking for over a year...periodically...
This is on my signature on my work email. Working in IT everything needs to be done now, nobody thinks ahead! We have visitors standing here in the building to do a massive presentation, they need a device, internet, and a projector. Sure we'll drop everything we are working on to accomodate you because you couldn't let us know in advance!!! O were doing a sex ed school project but when I went this website in the middle of class it was blocked.............. HELP WE NEED IT UNBLOCKED NOW! Sure I'll move you to the front of the line because you didn't check the website you intended on using in class prior...Goes on all the time!!!
My wife used to tell when she worked in donut shop how people would easily be confused between 6 and half dozen.
Many a man’s tongue broke his nose. A pat on the back is only a few inches removed from a kick in the arse. Both can get results. It’s knowing which one to use at the right time that separates the wise from the stupid.
Ordered food once and asked what was available. Had a few people over and wanted plenty. The girl on the line said they had pints of coleslaw for $3.99, and when I placed my order I said I wanted a quart of coleslaw. She said they don't have quarts, it took me twice to explain if you put 2 pints in my order that it makes a quart. She did it but I'm still not sure she understood.
Sure they can. They type 20.00 into the register and the register tells them how much change to give back...
