    Maya Angelou said: I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.

    I say: I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to do laundry and ironing.

    I notice the OP asked that we make suggestions for the next poster. So here is my suggestion:

    My barn having burned down, I can now see the moon. ~ Mizuta Masahide, 17th century Japanese poet and samurai

    It's such a fine line between one gin and tonic... and six.

    My suggestion:

    Taking the high road is not only more honorable, but more useful than getting stuck in the mud.

    I will tell you who the cow eats the cabbage.

    Originally: I will tell you how the cow eats the cabbage.

    Meaning: to tell the truth someone doesn't want to hear.

    All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words "Ich bin ein Krapfen!"

    "Negative. I am a meat popsicle."

    That is a direct quote from one of my favorite movies, by the way, not a mutilated one.
