Seen 'N' HeardHEARD…there are some folks,
around, who love blowing their owntrumpet and making a big sound – aboutnothing in particular.
They believe they can fool some of thepeople all of the time, and all of the peo-ple some of the time – not realizing thatyou cannot fool all of the people all ofthe time.
It has now become a big joke to seeand hear of such achievements!
