And other Heinlein quotes

This one being "It is just that I have always seen life as a vast practical joke, and it is far better to laugh than to cry."

I went to close the kitchen windows because it was getting cold -- they had been opened to let the smoke out from some mysterious substance on the burner that was not there last I used it -- and the blind fell on my head.

At that point I just threw up my hands, said, "Yeah, it is that kind of day, isn't it" and gave up.
