Sometimes it's wise not to let on you know so much about things, even in our every-day, normal lives. You have to play your cards right. That's what the fool does. He stands back so he can see the whole picture and then knows when to speak and what to say. It's awesome.<BR/><BR/>I'd never make a good fool. I'm too blunt and tactless. A fool has to be much more sly in order to pull it off the right way.Erachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00660802321998349072noreply@blogger.com
