There ain’t no way to find out why a snorer can’t hear himself snore.”   —   Mark Twain

(And again, we saw this exact quote back in April of this year!  I don’t know what is going on over at Cryptoquote world, but I wish they would only give us really old re-runs, and not these recent ones.  It wasn’t even a difficult one.  We don’t even have anyone in particular to complain to.  It could be the property of Word-Game-World.com, so I’m going to provide their Contact Us url below.  Feel free to use it to log a complaint.  I think my earlier estimation was incorrect, folks.  I am deleting the link.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

How Mark Twain Became a Free Trader - The Globalist

Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to the possibilities; truth isn’t.”   —   Mark Twain

(I don’t think that anyone could have written the story of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, or the past 3 and 3/4 years.  Not even Dean Koontz, or Clive Barker!  It’s been the nightmare that I can’t seem to wake up from.  If all good things must come to an end then I guess that this too shall pass.  Don’t give up hope, folks!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read them.”   —   Mark Twain

(Whenever my wife sees just about any book, she says:  Ehh, I’ll wait for the movie!  Let me tell you though, reading at a sub-vocal level is only a few steps above illiteracy.  The affliction has really held me back.  I would love to read more books, but they just take me forever to get through.  Be well and do goof, friends.)   —   YUR

Sleep problems including snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

There ain’t no way to find out why a snorer can’t hear himself snore.”   —   Mark Twain

(Very funny.  Most snorers are even in a kind of denial, because they don’t hear themselves snore.  I used to snore, when I was heavier.  And, for years I didn’t quite realize I was snoring, but I would frequently jump out of bed, thinking that a stranger was in the room!  It took me quite a while to figure out that it was just one of my louder outbursts.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the windows but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.”   —   Mark Twain

(Is this a little out of context, or do I just not get it?  It was a fun solve though.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  Rest In Peace, Buck Henry!  You were a very funny guy!   —   YUR

When some men discharge an obligation, you can hear the report for miles around.”   —   Mark Twain

(Oh boy!  Good ol’ Samuel would not be a fan of many of today’s athletes!  Some guys celebrate the smallest gain/stop/block/point, etc., etc. as though they’ve just won the championship.  Dude, or dudette, you just did your friggin’ job.  Acting like a clown is just disrespectful to your opponent, and makes you look like an ass.  Show some class.  Be a good sport.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Adam was the only man who, when he said a good thing, knew that nobody had said it before him.”   —   Mark Twain

(Now see, this is something the ancient Greeks probably didn’t come up with!  LOL!  He probably uttered this phrase when he was a bit younger, as he grew tired of organized religion in his later years.  Even going as far to say:  “Faith is believing what you know ain’t so.”  Enjoy the rest of your Labor Day weekend, friends!  Be well and do good.)   —   YUR

We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it, and stop there.”   —   Mark Twain

(Mark’s live in the moment advice?  I do think that too many of us try to make too much of what happens in life.  Just take it for what it is.  It is so uncertain, and shorter than most of us would like.  Let’s just be excellent to each other.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
