![]() "Juan Jimenez" wrote in message .. . Silenced? I believe you can rest assured such is not the case. Go look him up on Google. It's amazing how loud silence can actually be, if you're listening. ![]() Juan I have no doubt that he will never be silenced, nor his critics. The one blessing is that unlike the Wrights nobody will likely be arguing about ZZZ in a hundred years. It's not so much if a tree falls, it's more a case of if you rob a liquor store and nobody can place you at the scene, you didn't do it in the eyes of any judge. I know a man who claims to have hit twenty hole-in-one shots, all without witnesses. I completely disregard his claim, as I do some others. I've hit a single hole-in-one and doubt I'll ever hit another, but my name is on the clubhouse wall and his isn't. |

Could be, but you can rest assured the chances of someone talking about you in a hundred years is but a very small fraction of that. ![]() It's not so much if a tree falls, it's more a case of if you rob a liquor store and nobody can place you at the scene, you didn't do it in the eyes of any judge. chuckle The last time I checked, Lakehurst NAS used to draw literally hundreds of thousands of people, particularly for their Blue Angels performances. You gotta work on your analogies, pal. I know a man who claims to have hit twenty hole-in-one shots, all without witnesses. I completely disregard his claim, as I do some others. I've hit a single hole-in-one and doubt I'll ever hit another, but my name is on the clubhouse wall and his isn't. I tried golf. Once, got a birthday gift, 10 hours of lessons. Was being taught how to hit the ball with the #1, at the driving range. I sucked, then got a bit better and whacked one hard, up and straight down the range. The ball happened to hit a bird, one of those long legged white ones that hang out at landfills and near shorelines. I'm probably the only person in Puerto Rico to have ever accomplished such a feat at a driving range. There must have been some 50 people there, all practicing, just a 30 second walk from the clubhouse. They were all astounded. No plaque on the wall, no record. The only one I care about who was there to remember was my son. Do you think I give a flying intercourse who else remembers, whether any photos were taken, who were the witnesses, etc.? ![]() -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

![]() "Juan Jimenez" wrote in message .. . Could be, but you can rest assured the chances of someone talking about you in a hundred years is but a very small fraction of that. ![]() I have never sought attention or the recognition of others, in fact I dislike it. So I am quite glad that nobody will be discussing me in any way next week let alone in years. It's not so much if a tree falls, it's more a case of if you rob a liquor store and nobody can place you at the scene, you didn't do it in the eyes of any judge. chuckle The last time I checked, Lakehurst NAS used to draw literally hundreds of thousands of people, particularly for their Blue Angels performances. You gotta work on your analogies, pal. All those people and nobody to document or witness? And yet the claimant doesn't appear to be the type to avoid the limelight. Curious. Is the analogy imperfect? Lets see: lack of witnesses, didn't happen, I hit all the main points. Oh well, analogies are seldom perfect. Sorry you didn't like golf, it's a social sport. Driving ranges are not much like golf, I know some fellows that are pure dynamite on a driving mat who play fairly poorly. I play mediocre golf, but my partners and I usually manage to have a pleasant day. Last word to you of course (like I could stop you!). |

![]() "Jethro" wrote in message ... All those people and nobody to document or witness? It was 25 years ago. Are you good at detective work? Have fun! ![]() Sorry you didn't like golf, it's a social sport. Driving ranges are not much like golf, I know some fellows that are pure dynamite on a driving mat who play fairly poorly. I play mediocre golf, but my partners and I usually manage to have a pleasant day. Last word to you of course (like I could stop you!). Be glad to. Puertoricans don't need a sport to socialize, and we don't have to work at it (or pay for it) to have a pleasant day with our friends. To us, it comes naturally. ![]() -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
