...from my childhood was that strange old song 'I know an old woman who swallowed a fly...' (Then again, so was Puff the Magic Dragon. Oh, the innocence of a 60s childhood.) Now, where was I? Ah, yes - There's nothing so remarkable about swallowing a fly. What marks this woman out for special attention is the spider, the bird, the cat, the dog, and the horse that she then progressed to. It's a children's classic because it contains a wonderful moral.
When you are in a hole, stop digging! Don't try to solve one problem by creating another.
Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.
