"Nobody got anywhere in the world by simply being content."
-- Louis L'Amour
Possibly true (possibly not). But then, if you're content, you don't wanna "get somewhere" anyway.
"Who knew that dog saliva can mend a broken heart?"
-- Jennifer Neal
Maybe I'll keep the broken heart.

Anyway: it's near-storm winds around here for four days now! What's up with that? Never saw the like. Nice and sunny some of the time, but so windy.

How come you can never figure out these sayings? Obviously it means never being satisfied with "good enough." Well, you're always satisfied with less than the very best so maybe it's not such a mystery you didn't get this one.
coincidentally, this was one of the comics in todays newpaper...

"Turn a jar over her mouth
And the daughter will sound like her mother." - Lebanese proverb.
"The dog's tail was put in a cast for 40 years, and still it came out bent." - Ditto.
(I'd *LOVE* to know where they found a dog that could live 40 years, wouldn't you? ;-)
Perhaps it's the same dog that's a cardiologist...
"Go pave the sea." - Lebanese equivalent of a long walk on a short pier.
"That or combing the giraffe, it's from similar to the same." - French saying.
"If you've understood what I've just said, then perhaps I should rephrase." - Random politician/Zen master.
"Either this blog's server is under maintenance, or my mouse is broken." - Marxo Grouch.
"Did Roman paramedics refer to IVs as «Fours»?" - Anonymous
(Hey, Anon, good one!)
"At long last, the world will have a way to recycle butter!" - Coco Bandicoot, mutant inventor.
What is it to "turn a jar"?
Leviathud, good one.
If some are helped, who am I to argue, I guess.
Well, see, you take a jar, and turning it horizontally (or upside down if it's a big jar), you put its opening on that of the woman (her mouth, that is). Pretty much like a megaphone with no output at the other end.
What? I thought from your animated cartoons that you westerners did this sort of things all the time!
It is our fond way of showing our women how much we love their melodious voice in beautiful scenic Kazakhstan, yes?
(Hint: read the above with Indian accent for full effect.)
What next, are you going to tell me you don't drop pianos and bowling balls from the top of your skyscrapers?
My, this is indeed a strange world.
Where's my flamingo? I need to get back to my croquet game before my hedgehog runs away.
