Saw a sticker on the back window of a Volvo today.
"Money can't buy happiness.
But it can buy a Volvo,
Which is kind of the same thing."


Now where have I seen that before, hmmmm? :roll:

If you're playing a game (say, tennis) against your spouse,
and to be generous (or smart) you try to lose, and do,
have you succeeded or failed? :? 8-)

There is another version, "Money can't buy happiness, but it can go towards keeping your Kombi on the road and that has to be the next best thing" :lol:

A simple 'Yes' or 'No' will suffice... :P

You have clearly succeeded, you tried to lose and succeeded in losing. Now, if you had tried to lose but had still won, then you would be faced with a conundrum (:noun. a non percussion device deceptively being sold by con-men; con-un-drum)

Of what value would a dictionary be to someone who can't spell?
