Lin Yutang...or Yutang Lin

"If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live."

That's so fucking wise that I almost peed in my favorite skinny jeans when I read it.

I'm going to go a hug a stranger, be right back...

Laughter is great medicine.

Right before I read mjp's post I had just been puking my guts out- I feel so Bukowski right now- and then I read the first two posts of this great thread and I have to share with you how healing it was to laugh the nausea away. Thank you for the set up and thank you for that great punch in the stomach. I think I will stop puking now.

But the quote is actually Bukowski, right ? (Sure sounds like it.)

There was nothing useless about me puking. That stuff had to get out.
