MY SAYING

Today, almost everybody who is anybody has said something that is famous, and it will always be remembered as their famous saying... but not me. I don't want to be a nobody. I want to be a somebody. And I want to be a somebody all the time, not just when I get my muffler fixed.

I decided the easiest way to become well known would be to write a great book and have it published... but since that idea failed, I decided I would create a famous saying.

I searched to find the ideal one. It would have to be new, original and meaningful. One that seemed to stick in my mind for some reason was one that a friend always used to say to me on his deathbed: "Things that go without saying should be said more often, lest they be forgotten." I never quite under stood it, but it always sounded good.

I worked and worked and worked to find a saying that would be relevant to all aspects of life. Finally, after a full seven minutes, I hit upon a breakthrough in the English language. I had a start: "GLOOP".

Naturally, it needs a bit of work to match the true greats, but it was a definite beginning. I knew I was well on my way to creating MY SAYING.
