It is a Mark Twain kind of day here, and I'm taking it easy....

in #humor5 years ago

Mark Twain was an American Original, who preferred to use humor to make his point. He gave us many deep thoughts, but you have to pay attention some times to understand them.

Here is a favorite of mine; Quote of the day:

“Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

-Mark Twain

I have read most of his stuff, and I am sure I would have him for a friend, I like his view of the World!

Just remember that is is not every day you get to whitewash a fence...LOL!

Sort:  

Well you might like him as a friend but who knows if he would want anything to do with you!

He only avoided Texans...ROFLOL!

that's probably true. Where was he, Missouri?

Yup, on the Mississippi River! Mark Twain aas what they yelled when they were throwing lead, and the river was deep enough to be safe. Samuel Clemons adopted it for his nom de plume.

Oh man, more interesting trivia and forcing me to learn!

Sorry, take an aspirin and call me in the morning, ROFLOL!

lol..so they shouted that when measuring the depth of the water like they would say to mark the number of feet? What does twain mean?

Rough translation is safe channel for a steamboat, at two fathoms (12 feet) or more....
