A dissenting note

Hope this doesn't clash too horribly with yesterday's post. But that one was serious, this is for fun. I meant that one. This just made me smile as I read the words of these particular old curmudgeons.

'You shouldn't take liefe so seriously,' said Bryant. 'Think of it like pipe tobacco. It's dark, it's bitter, and it finally destroys you, but it provides a few moments of heaven on the tongue.'

'And it can make you ill,' snapped Finch.
