Nature abhors a moral vacuum cleaner.

That reminds me aof a Larson cartoon showing a woman walking down a forest track at nightfall while a storm brewed above, birds of prey circled and threatening wolfish eyes peered out from the woods on both sides.  She was carrying a hoover.  The strapline was something like:

"Foolishly, Esmerelda had forgotten that Nature abhors a vacuum ..."

I like Gays current signature. I saw it on a DVD I watched a few days ago, and then it appeared on the end of Gays posts - strange coincidence

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it

i thought a highbrow person was the one who thinks of the William Tell overture when everyone else thinks it's the theme tune for the Lone Ranger!  Nevermind, I guess I am just too old and remember the things that everyone else has forgotten!
