Thinking is hard work, which is why you don't see many people doing it.

Poise and indifference so often look the same.

The character of Rosie is based on a woman who used to live in the same apartment building I lived in many years ago. She's taken on a life of her own, of course.
Sue Grafton
Image
Lying contains the same hostile elements as a practical joke in that the 'victim' ends up looking foolish in his own eyes and laughable in everyone else's.
