James Thurber's Mom

"You can fool too many of the people too much of the time."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Thurber

Now I feel guilty for disliking him, especially since I realize how often I've heard that quote before. Sorry, James Thurber, I shouldn't have blamed you if my crossword skills were lacking.





This is the cool part:

"Thurber describes his mother as a 'born comedienne' and 'one of the finest comic talents I think I have ever known.' She was a practical joker, on one occasion pretending to be crippled and attending a faith healer revival, only to jump up and proclaim herself healed."

Comments:
You write very well.
