I often heard: . "Beggars Can't Be Choosers" But it seems to me that beggars "must" be choosers if they want to become more than beggars. What are your common phrases and can they be turned around? |

Can one turn around "six of one or a half dozen of the other"? Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

Reductio ad absurdum: reduction to the absurd Angels dance upon a pin head. . That is absurd. That we sometimes see them. . That is reduction. That we love them. . That is just madness. That we never noticed them. . That is because we were too busy posting on this absurd forum. |
