HI,

Reagan probably wasn't thinking the people would drive the car over a cliff when he said that. :)

"Be who you are and say what you feel...
Because those that matter...
don't mind...
And those that mind....
don't matter." -

Stay away from negative people, they have a problem for every solution.

(Attributed to Albert Einstein)

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Beam me up Scotty, there is no intelligent life here.



As radioed by Captain James Tiberius Kirk, to Chief Engineer Scott on the Starship Enterprize in
Startreck"

Having been a teacher in the latter part of my working life I collected many "clever" quips such as this:

"I don't understand your specific kind of stupid . . . but I must commend your total commitment to it."

Possibly with a (humorous to me) comment about the child's commitment (or lack of it :huh:) in the next report that was written. :whistle:

Every military officer (and NCO) has to undergo an annual report. For officers in particular these are the main make or break of a career. I have actually seen three of these written on Annual Officer's Confidential Reports - not mine!


His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.
I would not breed from this Officer.
This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't-be.
When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there.
He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction.
He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
Technically sound, but socially impossible.
This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere.
This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably.
Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig.
She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better.
In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly below 250 feet.
This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
The only ship I would recommend this man for is citizenship.
Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.

When I was a SNCO in the RAAF, my troops would call me "fair & just" as in a fair bastard & just a c**t.
