the person who makes it doesnt want it, the person who buys it doesnt need it, the person who has it doesnt know they have it.
Impossible is not a fact, it is an opinion.
Its not a declaration, its a dare.
Impossible is potential. Impossible is Temporary. Pride is forever.

Correct.

A cowboy named Joe rode into town on Friday, stayed three nights, and rode out of town again on Friday.

Introducing a lady to her friend, Jane said, "Her father-in-law's father's only son's, only daughter's brother, is grandfather to my daughter." How is the woman related to Jane?

Note: My daughter's father's grandfather had only one son and one daughter.

A bird I saw without legs or wings;
Born neither from womb of mother nor loin of father:
Neither in the sky nor 'neath the earth it lives,
Yet it ever eats the flesh of man.
