A Little Side-Step
Politics:

In the spirit of Jacob Marley

Can’t make up my heart
Sometimes when you
don’t know how to feel,

You don’t try to be who you are; you try to be who you aren’t.
Meaning: Being yourself is no effort. Being something else is.
Yogi Barely-ism
Things don’t look so bad
when they don’t look so bad.
Meaning: If you slap a fresh coat of paint on a problem, it makes the task of solving it less burdensome.
Potholes

She looked at the brush and said, “There’s skin all over it, you lousey lizard!” I left the room, she stayed behind and began to sing, “Ninety-nine brushes of skin on the wall, ninety-nine brushes of skin….” I groaned, “Oh, boy…” She poked her head around the corner and said, “Well, it’s YOUR fault… YOU “gened” me!”
