Crab

Have you ever watched a crab on the shore walking backward in search of the Atlantic Ocean and missing? That's the way the mind of man works.

~ H. L. Mencken

I am not sure if I have made this explicitly clear or not, but Leslie is really quite a philosopher. She uses her philosophical insights in a passive-aggressive way sometimes, but they are insights nonetheless. 

For instance, the other day when I forgot to get out a new bar of soap to replace the one that was used up, she said:

Leslie: If we can afford crab legs, we can afford soap.

Pretty insightful, right?

I guess it's worth mentioning that we had crab legs the day before. Without mentioning that it makes Leslie sound like she is just babbling about random things.

But maybe that's what philosophical insights are.
