I like that one, Steven. I take it this is one of your favourite Spoonerisms given the number of times you have referred to this quote lately! :sillygrin:

It's actually a Tom Waits quote but goes "I'd rather have an empty bottle in front of me that a prefrontal lobotomy"

I was wondering where it came from. I don’t even know where I heard it first. I’ve always thought it was quite funny though. Kinda like the dyslexic agnostic who was suffering from insomnia:

“Used to lie awake at night and wonder if there was a Dog”

:dyinglaughing: ( is it wrong to laugh at your own lame jokes ? )

A human being is a part of the whole...He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison...Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison - Albert Einstein

If you don't change direction, you're going to end up right where you're headed.
