"If you want something done, ask a busy person," is a saying I've heard. It seems accurate. I certainly remember getting up at 5:00 a.m., teaching all day, then running, oh, say, five-ten errands, cooking/eating dinner, throwing in a load of laundry, and heading back out for a meeting. If something got added on, it was just another check-off on the list.
But now that I'm retired, things have changed. I'm lucky if I accomplish one thing a day. I. am. serious!
Nope, I have no problem acceding to the truth of that particular homily.
It was when I tried to extend it to other ideas that it entertained me.
I mean:
"If you want something cleaned, ask a messy person?"
"If you want some money, ask a broke person?"
"If you want something read or written, ask an illiterate person?"
You get my drift.
I love this stuff...
See what you come up with.
