The ultimate crank was WC Fields.


Anyone who hates children and animals can't be all bad.

I am free of all prejudices. I hate every one equally.

I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.

I once spent a year in Philadelphia, I think it was on a Sunday.

Once, during Prohibition, I was forced to live for days on nothing but food and water.

Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.

Whether or not I'm feeling cranky is none of your business, whoever you are. Got that? Now, piss off.

No surprise to ME! The smarter you are, the more you understand about the world, and thus, the more cranky you get about it!

They needed to do a study to find that out? What a waste of money!

DON'T DISCOUNT BENEFITS OF BEING OLD AND CRABBY
BY JOE BURRIS
Baltimore Sun

Are you a fortysomething grouch who's first to shout invectives in a slow-moving checkout lane? A youngster who mocks your dad's counsel? A graduate student known for driving your professor crazy with sardonic verbiage?

Take hope: Today, you might be dismissed as a smart-aleck. In your old age, you might be viewed as smarter than average.

Or at least that's what Jacqueline Bichsel suggests.

Bichsel, a psychology professor at Morgan State in Baltimore, recently co-authored a study that invites the condusion that upon reaching 60, disagreeable people maintain a higher level of intelligence than more easygoing seniors.

"These individuals have a higher vocabulary," she said. "They have a better use of words, a better knowledge of facts."

It also suggests that those dismissed as grumpy old men and feisty old ladies are often smarter in some ways than the young. The study's findings fly in the face of notions that intellect and memory fade with age — and that has made it a hot topic in the psychology world.

Bichsel, 40, says publication of her study has produced an unanticipated 15 minutes of research fame; her work has drawn attention around the world.


So there's even hope for Spaw???????

Or should I just say "SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME!!!!!"
