...keeps the doctor away.
The phrase can be traced back to 1866, when Notes and Queries magazine published the first-known example of the proverb: “Eat an apple on going to bed, And you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread." According to wonderopolis.org, which is a great name for a web site. [Should that be website?] It's tag line [should that be tagline?] is "Where the Wonders Of Learning Never Cease". Darn, they got there before me.And it's true. I eat an apple every day - or at least most days - and no doctor has been to my door in, well, years, maybe ever. [Warning to readers: don't confuse correlation with causality]
It's also true that "a brandy at night makes me want to write".
And "a post a week keeps your blog unique".
"Every second must be reckoned". Very profound.
The oldsters sure knew a thing or two. Keep eating those Granny Smiths.
ReplyDeleteWhen reading a blog every day,
One’s mind is certain to stray
On very strange items
Like proems and modems,
And a man who plays well at croquet.
