In looking up the origin of the word ornery (seems to have originally
come from ordinary then developed a meaning of its own), I came
across this:
Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold
weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. -
I like to be evenhandedly disagreable, so yesterday, it was a Pole in
Cannes, today, it's an American in London (and a much higher class of
joke, too g)... Apologies to the source (on the chat) who, unlike
myself, *isn't* ornery and prefers to keep a lower profile :)

IMO, the logic of this story's moral is faulty; the moral should be
sought in an older joke (the one about the lonely female brain cell,
who found itself in a male head? With all its regular occupants being
down there?) Obviously, the moral had been written by a male, and
can/should be deleted
I definitely agree with mischievous, although I am originally born in Indiana
and raised in Texas, so..no, I'm sticking with that. I have 8 grandkids
and one in particular is beyond ornery, he is just bad. :)
