Perfect Phrases

Shamelessly lifted from the Jonathan Carroll website, http://www.jonathancarroll.com, June 11, 2005 Blog entry:

In a recent email, my friend Olga said,
"A man without a sense of humor is like a woman without breasts."

Hats off to Olga! Every so often you come across one of these perfect phrases that stand completely on their own, neither needing nor accepting further explanation. You either get it or you don't, immeditiately. And if you don't you never properly will, since any attempt at explanation can only make it more murky or meaninglessly trite.

Thank you, Olga.
