Good point.

Ouch! It’s tough to have an honest friend.

Better to keep your mouth shut and have others wonder if you’re a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

You need to sit quietly and develop an inscrutable look.

So much for Earl being a wise man. lol

You talk too much, Earl.

I must be downright inscrutable!

I wonder how Earl would have taken it if Opal had said those words to him? LOL

There was a movie like that - they thought he was a genius because he never spoke.

Jolly195, I think you are probably thinking of the movie, Being There which starred Peter Sellers. He worked at the White House as a gardner. When asked his name, he said he was Chauncy, the gardner. The media ran with it and thought he was Chauncy Gardner. He was a very nice, simple man but they took his simplicity to be depth. Ended up making the rounds of all the talk shows and such.

That is what I know about it. One of these days, I would like to watch it all the way through. I’m not sure how it ends but I suspect it did not end well.

Actually it was a rich man in Washington D. C., not the White House. “Chance (Peter Sellers) is a middle-aged man who lives in the townhouse of a wealthy man in Washington D.C.” “The protagonist of this film is Chance, the gardener.

“Being There” ended well, TexTech. (In fact, it would go a long way to explaining at least one former president of the US….) It was Peter Seller’s last film, and it was brilliant.

The older you get … The more you hide your own Easter Eggs… I’m still looking from last Easter ( Can’t find two )

He’s more of a wise a**.

I hope they’re not real eggs, Vegas Viper…

Birds of a feather flock together!

The only thing I didn’t like about “Being There” was the very last scene. Otherwise a wonderful film.

I have nothing to say.

Think twice before you say something wisely.

The way I see it , if you say something wise, someone else will criticize you. For spelling,punctuation,or grammar anyway .

That’s really profound, saltyftw. Now if you could just sort out your commas and spaces…
