We have the “Life Is Short” page for important observations that verge on eternal verities, so I figured it’s time to add a page for lighter fare. Here, Gentle Reader, you will find aphorisms, maxims, and folksy sayings that are…shall we say…open to discussion. Hopefully you’ll at least get a giggle out of them.
As with the LIS Codex, those who wish to contribute their favorite cracked gems and tarnished pearls should send their entries to:
