“He Who Hesitates is Lost”

As you know,  Yogi Berra, master of the malapropism, died in September.  In the Berra spirit, I cooked up the following during last night's troubled sleep:

Said by me to Berra in the presence of Peter:  He who hesitates is lost.

Berra:  You mean Peter?

(I would continue with this, but I am presently under assault by some nasty flu bug.  And last night's whisky cure did no good at all.

If I said to Wittgenstein, "I feel like shit warmed-over," he would shoot back: "You have no idea what shit feels like, fresh-cooked or warmed-over."

He was one serious dude.
