Cryptoquote Spoiler – 05/14/15

English: arm (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“The best helping hand that you will ever receive is the one at the end of your own arm.”   —   Fred Dehner

(This guy either died in 1978 – at age 70 – or he’s currently alive, but doesn’t have any bio info out there for us.  Either way, this is the one and only quote attributed to him.  Here’s a question for the Grammar Police:  Are double possessives as objectionable as double negatives???  What arm might your hand be connected, if not your own?  It’s like:  at the present time.  Or:  cash money.  The unnecessary redundancy is irksome.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
