"When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade."

The trouble with this piece of advice is that Life seems to be rather fond of lemonade, and so the more lemonade you make, the more Life will keep giving you lemons, secure in the knowledge that it will have its sweet ambrosia. You don't want more lemons. So, when Life gives me lemons, instead of making lemonade, what I like to do is this: I like to go downtown...and jump up and down in a chicken costume shouting "There's cheese in my ear!" This should very nicely discourage Life from handing me lemons, since I will have proven myself mentally incapable of being its slave and making its lemonade repeatedly. (Unless Life somehow manages to read this.) Just gotta know how to work the system.......
