    I finally acquired enlightenment.
    I can catch trout on a hook that looks like a fly.
    I can be laconic or sesquipedalian .
    I can be fickle but have been straight shaving for 30 years.
    I can see reflections in muddy water.
    I can act without thinking or I can procrastinate.
    .
    I like large gluteus maximi & cannot fabricate falsehoods.

    And...I can eat 50 eggs... in an hour.

    No matter how simple or difficult the assembly is, I can build it with less parts than the manufacturer; because I always have parts left over.

    I hate to burst your bubble but I figured that one out at an early age!

    Maybe we could start a Redesign Consulting Firm.

    Our slogan could be, "We guarantee to save you at a minimum of 10% on your assembly costs!"

    PM me if you are interested!

    The trouble with your idea is that all those parts are antiques. Over all I think that is a loosing category. At least for making money.

    I am thinking more about having them giving us a particle accelerator or a Mars space ship to play with.

    I'm working on my doctorate in humility. The older I get the more I realize how little I matter.....not in a bad way but the bravado of my younger years dissipates. I suppose that is not something unique to myself as I'm sure there have been many before me that have felt the same. Then again, that may have less to do with age and more to do with marital status. Other than that, I'm a great cook of mostly French cuisine, I love and appreciate art and music, and can drink like a pirate.
