ONE LINERS AND SUCH



            If chic looks downright ugly do you still want to look chic?

            I am quite confident that I will find whatever I am looking for after:
                    1. I no longer need it.
                    2. it has expired or become passe´.
                    3. it has become moldy, rotten, or otherwise unpalatable.

  Im♦promp♦tu  
adj. Made, done, or uttered on the spur of the moment; extempore; offhand. n. Anything impromptu. adv. Without preparation. [L. in promptu. In readiness.] Sir Winston Churchill was known as a great impromptu orator.

      I wonder why Webster used, "was known as" rather than, "was believed to be" in the closing demonstrative sentence for "Impromptu"? Sir Winston Churchill was certainly believed to be a great impromptu orator by the masses. But those closet to Churchill said that he never left the house for any public meeting place without practicing for at least an hour just in case he was asked for an impromptu speech. Ask they did, even when he was not the scheduled speaker. London loved to listen to him as did all of Great Britain and much of the world. Wherever he went his presence produced a desire in people to hear his encouraging words, and inspire others to greatness is what he did best.
