Why go to all the trouble....

....of 'walking your talk' when you can just talk your walk? Sit still in your chair and announce, in a convincing tone of voice, that you are striding out to reach your destination. Describe the effort you are going through; the stress and strain on your legs; the bunions on your feet that you are getting from covering so many miles. That's what virtually everyone I know of does, and many more besides; and they seem to get clean away with it, so it must be a viable policy, mustn't it?


If you really want to get somewhere, though, stand up and start moving.


The mind ought sometimes to be diverted that it may return to better thinking.   (Phaedrus)
