    Default Six word life stories

    This was on the radio last week and I'm sure orgers can do better. Ernest Hemingway was challenged to put a life story into 6 words and came up with
    for sale baby shoes never worn

    Here's the original http://www.smithmag.net/
    not quite what I was planning

    Here's mine for starters
    second thoughts always better than first
    The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

    Dont waste breath on bad words.
    When the white man discovered this country Indians were running it.
    No taxes, no debt, women did all the work.
    White man thought he could improve on a system like this.

    Observed, listened, participated but remained cynical.
