Note; with inventory Sunday and Monday, and the tedious reports which follow, Perspectives will be off line until sometime next week.
Stephen P. H. Butler Leacock , (1869 – 1944) was a Canadian teacher, political scientist, writer, and humourist. Between the years 1915 and 1925, he was the best-known English-speaking humourist in the world. He is known for his lighthearted wit along with criticisms of people’s follies. The Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour was named in his honour. ( for non-family members; my father was the recipient of this medal in 1961 ).

“A sportsman is a man who, every now and then, simply has to go out and kill something.”
“Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole Girl”
“Mr. Gingham had the true spirit of his profession, and such words as “funeral” or “coffin” or “hearse” never passed his lips. He spoke always of “interments,” of “caskets,” and “coaches,” using terms that were calculated rather to bring out the majesty and sublimity of death than to parade its horrors.”
“Advertising - A judicious mixture of flattery and threats.”
“I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it”
“A half truth, like half a brick, is always more forcible as an argument than a whole one. It carries better.”
“He flung himself from the room, flung himself upon his horse and rode madly off in all directions.”
