As one wag has put it, better to remain silent and be considered a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt...
...Or as history's 'wisest person who's ever lived' once expressed things: 'Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps his mouth shut...if he closes his lips, he is considered perceptive.' (Proverbs 17:28.)
Yes, 'silence is [indeed] golden', as the ole song goes...
P.S. So why didn't I just leave matters 'well enough alone', and keep this blogpost altogether as I had over recent days...i.e. wordless and blank (as I'd originally, if completely inadvertently, had it)?
Sadly, I simply 'couldn't help myself', and felt rather insecure and odd having such an inexplicable blogpost...as if I'd been trying to be somewhat cute (or at least was being perceived or coming over that way)...when that was not remotely my intention...
...whereas having inadvertently posted the piece in such a way, I was intrigued as to how many would view it, and how they would or might regard it...and sad to say, it's received as many pageviews as any number of infinitely more worthwhile posts of mine ever have...
...which surely says something - and not altogether flattering (I'm sure you'll agree) about my present readership/viewership...
Hey, methinks I'd better now 'quit while I'm ahead', before I really put my foot in my mouth...and cause endless offence to one and all...though noting the complete lack of response/s awhile ago - after specially and specifically requesting such of one and all - I'm probably needlessly losing precious shuteye thereabouts!
Nuff Said!
