There was a young lady named Rose

Who had a huge wart on her nose

When she had it removed

Her appearance improved

But her glasses now slipped to her toes.

Sorry, Tom, that’s the only G-rated one I can remember that does not include the word “buck”.

I was a stats teacher for awhile and enjoyed reading how William Sealy Gosset used stats to enhance the stout to be more nutritional to address the effects on those who were drinking stronger, less nutritional alcohol. A great story of one man’s efforts to aid his fellow countrymen.

Somehow I had never come across that Yeats quote. That's fantastic!

He is a treasure trove of wit and wisdom. Just when you think it’s exhausted, he comes back with more.
