Re: The mind absolutely boggles.
How does that old saw go ... "One sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, each time expecting a different result"
I said this to my wife yesterday whilst we were in the garden enjoying the Sun. She was trying to stand up a water bottle on sloping ground and it kept falling over (6 or 7 times). After uttering the above phrase she just looks at me and says 'it only has to work once'. At which point the bottle remained upright after being placed down.
I had to concede that she was right and that I was speechless.
