Nothing to do

I received a belated birthday gift today from the commenter occasionally known as dzaster.

It's a book entitled "Meditations for Men Who Do Next to Nothing (and Would Like to Do Even Less)". Its author is (the perhaps pseudonymous) Lee Ward Shore.

This book is meant to be a humorous sendup of self-help books, but within the humor are some gems of wisdom.

"What good is furniture if you're too busy to sit on it?"

"An obstacle isn't an obstacle until you try to overcome it."

"Today, I will not clutter my mind with thoughts."

"Today, let me not only go with the flow, but celebrate it."

My favorite by W.C.Fields:

Get away from me kid, you bother me.
