Always forgive your enemies, if that doesn't work, sign them up for spam lists is one of my favorites. Very entertaining and well done. Good luck with contest.

Like the Internet spam lists for those people who want to annoy you.

Corns, and blisters, and pain from way too much walking...OUCH! That does not include bad knees and shin splints either. Got to toss them in too.

Super Glue to hold an 8-ton truck. What will be invented next?

Enjoyed these comments regarding the famous quotes.

LOL. Well, there are definitely always different perspectives for different folks. And I must say that, I tend to agree more with yours than I do with the original authors. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Beth. I really enjoyed your interpretation of those quotations. The one about signing your enemies to internet spam lists is great. That would be just punishment, indeed. A thousand-mile journey would certainly do damage to your feet, not just corns. I like the humor you got into each one. Best of luck in the contest. Great choice of quotations, and you really knew how to present a humorous take. judi

Oh, Dear Beth: I have only read your first interpretation, chuckled and needed to comment. Loved it. Now to read the next. The third challenges the first, but Wilde remains in the lead. As for the last, it too, made me laugh. Only Teddy's pauses me to only smile, not laugh like the other three. This is exceptional.

So clever. Spot-on extrapolations as to quotation spin-offfs had these esteemed men lived in the technological era. (Or "error," as the case may be.)

All of your quotes were great. Your interpretations, Beth, were
greater. I liked the humor used. You did a great job with your
contest. The one I liked best was signing them up enemies for
spam lists.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes in the contest, Jan
