There are three things which come to my mind which I consider excellent advice:
First, girls, don’t smoke–that is, don’t smoke to excess. I am seventy- three and a half years old, and have been smoking seventy-three of them. But I never smoke to excess–that is, I smoke in moderation, only one cigar at a time.
Second, don’t drink–that is, don’t drink to excess.
Third, don’t marry–I mean, to excess.
- Mark Twain last public address, St. Timothy’s School for Girls, Catonsville, MD, 9 June 1909
The birds are in misery. I don’t think they sing, they just screetch in pain.
