Master Woo’s self-imposed discipline of jumping up and landing on straight legs one hundred times a day had the unexpected side-effect of broadening his nose
Gwen, Well, there's that other philosophy that we could subscribe to. You know the one, about "don't push the river" and "if it doesn't come easy, it's not meant to be" and "don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff." Or my partner's favourite (and irritating)take on life: "it is what it is." Feel better now? :-)
Forest Dream, Once a habit is formed, it's hard to break it. Although I don't know how much longer Mr. Woo can keep at this activity without his knees breaking.
Shirl, I have never heard that old saying! Are you sure you didn't make it up?! No wonder kids put coins up their noses--they probably heard that expression somewhere and took it literally. "Ha-choo--ka-ching! I can sneeze and make change at the same time."
Maybe it's all the air shooting up his nose, filling it like a balloon. I hope he doesn't just float away... On second thought, maybe I should start jumping!
Stickup Artist, Be sure to look before you leap! You made me think of that old Dobie Grey song, "Drift Away." ...And the old days when I hung out with some musician friends who did that song.
He clearly nose a thing or two..Boom..Boom..
ReplyDeleteYou are right but Why is this so???
ReplyDelete"When are things going to start getting easier"..
oh pardon that question, I must have been dreaming!!
Maybe he needs to find some other form of amusement!
ReplyDeleteIf his nose was full of nickels, he'd be rich. Do you remember that old saying?
ReplyDeleteIf he continues maybe the nose will transform into a parachute, allowing softer landings ?
ReplyDeleteYou are nuts, you know that, right?
:-)
Marginalia,
ReplyDeleteI won't turn up my nose or sniff at that one!

Owen,
ReplyDeleteYes, good point.
What, me nuts? Takes one to nose one, I'd say.
