Quote of the day

med_cat: (cat in dress)
"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong.
Because someday in your life you will have been all of these."

~George Washington Carver

Oh, he was an optimist; you know his basic biography, right? :)

I didn't, but assumed that a black man born in the late nineteenth century won't have a happy one. Now I do - eh, could've been worse. :(

But you do know the joke I quoted, right?

He made his own luck, as I recall...

And no, I don't know the joke, but I'd like to hear it, if you don't mind. :)

Pediatrician's office:

Doctor: Good morning! And whom have we here?
Kid: Hi, I'm Bobby!
Doctor: Good morning Bobby!!!! And what a big boy we are! And how old are we?
Kid: I'm going to be four!
Doctor: My, aren't we an optimist!!!!!!!

...but yes, thanks for explaining the reference!

I'd not seen this joke before.
