Own Quote: "There's a threshold between genius and madness,
I have kept the door ajar!"
When people see him they act cautious,
Condescending and pretentious;
Maybe he looks uncool,
Like a nerd or a fool,
Or just a misunderstood genius?
"Dumb & Dumber Personal quote" contest by John Freeman
There was a young girl on Long Bay
Her swim shorts began to show fray
Rip spread up the seam
I thought I would scream
When chubby cheeks went on display!

The 'stitch in time' notion has been current in English for a
very long time and is first recorded in Thomas Fuller's
Gnomologia, Adagies and Proverbs, Wise Sentences and
Witty Sayings, Ancient and Modern,
Foreign and British, 1732
What is the purpose of this life?
It is to live a life of purpose.
