So a guy walks into a bar… or was that a guy and dog? Wait, let’s start over. A guy and a dog walk into a bar. Nope, that’s not it. The way this is going it could be a long time before we get to the punch-line. You may be in a predicament now, having to deal with some insufferable fool who thinks he’s more entertaining/knowledgeable/intelligent than he actually is. Since you’re not one to suffer fools, this could be particularly torturous for you. But you’ll need to grin and bear it, because the one doing the talking is probably important to a plan of yours. Your mantra today is “tolerance.”
“If you spent your traveling time lamenting the place you didn’t reach, you might not notice the beautiful scenery and interesting places that could be found on the “wrong” road. But if you chose to spend your time discovering what else there might be of value in the place you landed, you could wind up better off than you would have been if you’d reached your original destination.”
