Wow, my hundredth post.

Two funny stories from Seth Godin:
Standing in the airport security line. The guy behind me ... [is] busy dumping toothpaste and shaving cream in the garbage. Then he grabs an aftershave product and says, quite loudly, "I think I can bring this... it's a balm."

And
palinode (PAL-uh-noad) noun

A poem in which the author retracts something said in an earlier poem.


[The illustrator and humorist Gelett Burgess (1866-1951) once wrote a
poem called The Purple Cow:

I never saw a purple cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

The poem became so popular and he became so closely linked with this single
quatrain he later wrote a palinode. ...

No, I won't tell you what he said. You'll have to click the link.
