The lesser-known author-contemporary of the infamous Islam-basher; he merely wrote a mildly-doubtful-toned work regarding the religion and its followers, and so Iranian leaders didn't actually place a bounty on his head; they merely wanted to question him on his "motivation 'n' motives" surrounding the book. He therefore just quietly withdrew from the public eye and slowly travelled to a remote part of the country where he wasn't known well, and then lived out his remaining days in humble anonymity on the modest proceeds from his book.

"If you buy just one of something, you will surely break it almost immediately, but if you buy one or more "spare" items to have "just in case", your "initial" item will miraculously escape damage no matter how many mishaps you endure, and thus those duplicate items will merely gather dust in the garage or at the back of your desk-drawer."
I have always tried to handle objects gently and carefully, but due to extreme forgetfulness and physical/mental/emotional infirmities, I tend to "be rough on my stuff" --- sitting/stepping on unobserved items, blundering into objects as I'm groggily stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night, soiling items or spilling/dropping stuff, etc., and so I occasionally attempt to "prepare for the future" by acquiring spares of the types of items which I typically seem to damage or break; only prob is that just as soon as I do "lay in for a rainy day" like that, the "currently-being-used" object that I had been procuring said spares for NEVER SEEMS TO ACTUALLY SUSTAIN SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, and so all of those extras that I'd carefully tucked away just "sit there for decades"... talk about a classic case of "Murphy's Law of Spares"!

Da prison where they send uncaring folks who refuse to help sick or injured people, as opposed to a kind-hearted Good Samaritan.
Maybe dat first guy who unfeelingly passed by da dude lying in da road did indeed get sent to Leviteworth for his cold-heartedness , but we hafta remember dat da priest callously ignored da man's plight, as well ... what would they call da place dat HE was sent to atone for his sinful indifference --- "Fatherworthless"?

Ethan Couch wanted to be coddled and entertained 24/7, so his taking a job in da regular workforce would likely be intolerable to him --- he'd probably feel like a suboredinate no matter what form of employment he tried.

Just like "Fragile" or "This side up", this labeling will almost 100% guarantee that your parcel will be tossed, bounced, drop-kicked, and/or stomped upon by disgruntled/delinquent shipping-personnel during its entire journey from you to your intended recipient. Yep, I'm talking to YOU, USPS/UPS/FedEx!!! There --- I said it --- got it off my chest! :P
During the infamous "angry political activists shooting at passing semi-trucks" period back in the 80's, some truckers apparently resorted to painting their trailers with huge "Caution: explosives"-type signs to discourage nearby riflemen who would prefer not to get blown up themselves along with their intended targets. A cartoon in a magazine during that time showed two redneck 18-wheeler-drivers discussing a huge "WHAMMO DYNAMITE" label that the speaker has painted on the side of his van; the driver is saying something like, "Actually, I'm hauling dried prunes, but I feel a lot safer this way, rather than my having 'Handle with care' written on there instead."

Less-than-favorable responses when either bucket-and-Swiffer chores are assigned, or someone shows up with an inelegant hairdo.
I wonder if da Little Red Hen's "friends" gave her a wailing storm of mopposition when she asked them to help her clean up da kitchen after a huge boisterous feast?
