“Abundance like want, catches no mice,” the guru Zen Master Biffbong said as he sat upon the edge of the cliff.

The large crowd that assembled (and paid $29.99 a piece) to hear him speak, sat glued to his every sage utterance.

“He whose belly is full travels fast,” he spoke eloquently, the masses in rapt attention to his every godlike word.

Zen Master Biffbong, ( Hal Greenglib just a short year ago) could not believe that these suckers… err followers , held him in such high esteem.
If his classmates and teachers at PS 23 could see him now!

The audience sat still, patiently until he spoke again, “Silence never bites the hand that knocks twice.”

Even he knew not where these great pearls of wisdom came from. Devine intervention perhaps?

“Experience never wears the scent of uninvited guests.”

“Bad news is better than annoying habits.”

Eat your heart out Doctor Phil, thought Zen Master Biffbong, to himself as he grinned, stood up, bowed and walked away from the cliff to thundering applause.
