Chumps don’t know that time is the offspring of a cuckoo and a yeti. Chumps think it is precious and adopt it. They don’t know it’s true nature, tricky as a cuckoo yeti, so are easily fooled. Must humans are chumps. Happy Chump Day in Trefurbia!
No apology necessary, chum. It isn’t your fault I was holding my breath while hanging on tenterhooks and turning blue in the face of interminable patience, before your reply arrived. It was the cuckoo yeti’s fault.
“The cuckoo who is on to himself is halfway out of the clock.” Wilson Mizner
“My only enemy is time.” Charles Chaplin. I love that quote. It is true of us all, of course, but it seems more poignant coming from a great artist. Thanks, S.
I’ve heard that the best laid plans of mice and men always center around the acquisition of cheese. Thanks Greg and sorry for the lateness of my reply.
As a fellow chump, I always identify with the saying from Steel Magnolias: “Time marches on and eventually you realize it’s marching across your face.”

Time’s a gambler my friend. *tips cowboy hat* Not sure why but I imaged you in an old saloon paying a game of cards with Time. Lol

Time for you to bring a class action suit against Time on behalf of all us Chumps. Please hurry before Time runs out.
