Brevity is the soul of wit.
But is short sweet?
The other day spied a short guy wearing a T shirt that said "Life is much shorter".
Self-deprecation is definitely smart.
Smarter than carrying a Napoleonic chip on one's shoulder.
Otherwise it can prove harmful,even fatal.
Like this thug who used to carry a small gun and was blessed with a small wee wee.
Went to the shrink to get rid of his inferiority complex.
Shrink caught on to the fundamental cause - the wee wee.
Told him to lose the small gun and carry a big one.
Next day on the streets was a brawl.
Our man usually quick on the draw was slow with his new, unfamiliar gun.
Upshot was that Shorty's life was cut much shorter.
