Ah - well I guess we all have our personal gurus - people we like to
quote and study for inspiration.

Mine?

Yogi Berra.

Come fourth with some Yogiisms.

There is only one piece of definitive advice that the great Yogi Berra
once said - it applies to everything you do in life and is, to me
anyway, the greatest philosophical construction ever spoken - it works
on so many levels that it's truly astounding - eleven words vs the
thousands and thosands other so called "thinkers" and philosophers
have uttered since time began.

Eleven words summing up the whole of human experience.

Eleven words describing the whole of human existence.

Eleven words efficiently and effectively defining the way all humans
should approach life and love.

What are these magic words you ask?

What is this wisdom that this simple son of St. Louis, MO imparted to
us that rings so true?

What indeed is the symbolism ensconsed within these magic eleven words
uttered by a mere baseball player?

It is simple - it is amazing - it is astonishing in both it's elegance
and simplicity while at the same time so complex that you will get
headaches plumbing the depths of it's significance.

I present the words - The Eleven Magic Words - of the great Yogi Berra

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

I weep with joy - I revel in it's grace and style - I live it's words
as if it were the word of God.

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

Beautiful - simple beautiful.

I am impressed with how many words you used to describe an 11 word
statement.

I know. Didn't make any sense to me either but I hit the send before I
could figure out what I was trying to say.

Thats a bit harsh, all it needs is a couple of commas and you could
read it once instead of twice.

Eisboch's normal "conversational" English is just fine. The example in
question is way off his mark, and he already explained why.

It's only our own sweet charming Harry trying to alienate the last
person of "consequence" on rec.boats that was "willing" to converse with
and discuss issues with Harry in a "civil" manner.

It isn't hard to figure out that 40 was meant to be followed by years.
