[Rhodes22-list] A word to the unwise...JB

[elle]

Coming back to the party late as I've been out on the
Potomac ALL DAY being rejuvenated....

However, a word to the unwise:

Beware the sweeping generalization, as it has a way of
sweeping one onto one's BUTT.

or...as Lewis Carroll so aptly put it,

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
  The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Our literature and life lesson for today.
