Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for March 10, 2009

I’d move the car, dude!

Yea, I go through this with my hubby! He ends up moving the car!

I’d move his car AND turn the A/C full blast, move the seat as close up as possible and turn the radio full blast to a hip hop station.

The original (often misquoted phrase) is from the 1697 play The Mourning Bride, Act iii, Sc. 8, by William Congreve. In full, it’s “Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.” or, as originally written, “Heav’n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn’d, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn’d”

Act i, Scene 1 of the same play has the also well-known (and also oft-misquoted) “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.” Original: “Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast, To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak. I’ve read, that things inanimate have mov’d, And, as with living Souls, have been form’d by Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.”

Thanks Runar, I learned something today!

(Can I please go home now?)

I second carmy’s suggestion >:-)

Misquotes are kind of a hobby with me.

Sounds like a threat I’d make, though I really live carmy’s “evul” suggestion!
