You Ought To Know By Now

[livejournal.com profile] daisy_knotwise and I ducked out to the Chinese buffet for dinner tonight. When my fortune cookie came, I opened it up and started laughing.

"Never argue with a fool."

Personally, I like Billy Joel's version a little better: "You should never argue with a crazy man, man, man, man, man, man."

(And if you think you know what this is about, you're probably wrong.)

In a flame war on a message board yesterday, one of the two parties was freely inventing facts. (You remember all the theatres that Christians burned for showing The Last Temptation of Christ? Funny, neither do I.) I reminded the other party of the old Usenet saying: "Never wrestle with a pig. You'll both get covered with mud, and the pig will enjoy it."
