The shave and/or haircut choice is a great warning against one of my worst habits. Sometimes cramming too much in is dangerous!

You’re naive, confused. (Hey, you asked for it! )

“And, there being nothing more to say, the young man said it.”

The young man said nothing because there was nothing more to say.

It’s as silly as any of the other jokes, no doubt, but I like it simply for its perspective. When we heard that early-bird-gets-the-worm thing, we always assume we’re being urged to see ourselves in the role of the bird, instead of being warned against filling the role of the worm.

Call me naive, or not, but I don’t understand the last line of “The Real Story of the Early Worm.”
