Providing wisdom since 1997

The Curmudgeon’s Observation has been a hallmark of the Scuttlebutt Newsletter since the publication was launched in 1997. That’s a lot of time to be providing ‘wisdom’, and we came up with the list below – in no particular order – when we searched ‘argument’ from previous offerings:

• When living in New York City, you can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park, but can’t find Wisconsin on a map.

• Any time three New Yorkers get into a cab without an argument, a bank has just been robbed.

• “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” – Winston Churchill

• A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

• Men should avoid arguments with women about lifting the toilet seat by using the shower.

• I once won an argument with a woman…in this dream I had.

• Any argument carried far enough will end up in semantics.

• Your argument is sound, just sound, lots of sound.

• Anything we said six months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after seven days.

• Friendly argument.

• Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.

• A single fact can spoil a good argument.

• You know you’re in a real family restaurant when there are arguments going on at every table.
