> Explicit : characterized by full clear expression ,being without vagueness or ambiguity .
> Graphic : Marked by clear and lively description or striking imaginative  power.Sharply  outlined or delineated  .So,what is the problem here ? Why do they feel it necessary  to warn people against the possibility of seeing something clear
> sharply outlined ,unambiguous and with striking imaginative power ?

> 45 .EXPRESSIONS I QUESTION
>
> ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER ..Not always .Sometimes one thing leads to  the same thing .Ask any addict .
>
> THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN TH SWORD needs to be updated .It's overdue .It should  have been changed much earlier in the twentieth century to "The type-writer is mightier than the machine gun ..But at this point it should probably read "
> The computer is mightier than  the guided missile "
>
> UNIDENTIFIED PERSON : What exactly is an " unidentified person " ?Doesn't  everyone  have an identity ?Maybe he is a person they can't identify ..But that  would make him an "  unidentifiable person ".I guess if nothing else he could always
> be referred to as " the guy  we can't identify " .There ,that's better .
>
> YOU CAN HEAR A PIN DROP : Well ,you can't hear a pin drop .When the pin is dropping it  is floating through the air .There's very little noise .In India this phrase  has undergone a  transformation .There is supposed to be a " pin drop silence "
> in a Hall before the class  begins or a music concert commences .This kind  of silence is very common in India ..
>
> YOU NEVER KNOW : Not true at all .Sometimes you do know '
>
> IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME :  How can this be ? Shouldn't it  be " In  the right place at the wrong time ? " If a guy gets hit by a stray bullet he is  in the right place ( where his day's activities have taken him ) at the wrong time (
> when the bullet is passing by ) .If he were at the wrong place ,the bullet wouldn't have been there .IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME is also questionable .Let's say a  guy wins a  prize for being a bank's millionth customer .All you really have to say is
> " He was in the right place "After all it had to be  the right time .That's the only time  they were giving away the  prize .If it hadn't been the right time ,it wouldn't have  been the right place .Twenty minutes later the bank wouldn't be the " right place " anymore .
>
> YOU LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY DAY : Actually you learn something old every  day Just because you learned it doesn't mean it's new .Other people already knew it .Columbus is a good example .It is wrong to say that an Explorer "discovered " a new  country .The country had always been there .The explorer just  happened to be the  first from another country to visit it .
>
> THE SKY IS THE LIMIT .Well how can you say that ? The sky never ends .It extends indefinitely  into the  depths of space beyond our imagination .What kind of a limit is that ? The earth on the other hand is the limit .It is finite
> .
> YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS : That depends on how intimately you know  the other person .Maybe you can't have it both ways at once  but if you have got  the time , the energy  and the desire you can probably have it three  or four ways
> and it  would be some sort of a record !
>
> WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT YOU : You should have  just Indira Gandhi and  Rajiv Gandhi about this one
>
> NOBODY EVER SAID LIFE WAS FAIR : Not so .I  remember as  I was growing  up at least  six different people telling me life was fair .I specifically remember one person who told me "  Life you will find is fair". .Oddly enough all of them died before the age of thirty - five .
>
> IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN HOME: As opposed to what ? The privacy of someone else's home ?You have no privacy in someone else's home ; that's why you have got your own home .
>
> TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT : Well it just so happens that two wrongs do make  a right .Not only that ,but as the number of wrongs increases the whole thing goes up  exponentially .So that while two wrongs make a right and four wrongs make two rights it  actually takes sixteen wrongs to make four rights .It  seems that anyone who is stringing together more than 256 wrongs needs counselling not mathematics .
>
> IF YOU HAVE SEEN ONE YOU'VE SEEN THEM ALL : Do we have to even talk about this  one ? This should be obvious .If you've seen one you've seen just one .If you have seen  them all only  then you've seen them all .Ask any tourist or visitor to a museum .I don't  understand how this one even got started
> .
> YOU CAN'T WIN THEM ALL : Not true .If you go to Las Vegas or Reno you will see plenty of guys who have won  them  all and become millionaires overnight .
>
> To hell with pessimists .
>
> THOSE WERE THE DAYS : No those were the nights .! Think back .Weren't the  nights  better? Days you had  to do your homework or  study hard for your your  examinations  if  you were at school or college or work your butt off if you were
> employed .But nights ? Ah  ,that's when you had fun .You went to parties ,danced dated and got laid if you were among the lucky few ." Those were the nights ! "
>
> THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH : Some nitwit stated this .What  about  when you eat at home ? I don't pay when I eat lunch at home  -- it's free
> Sometimes I will leave a tip for my maid during festivals or birthdays but basically it's a free lunch .Yes ,I know we had to buy the provisions at the grocery store !
>
> LIFE IS SHORT : Sorry that's a pessimist's view . Life is not short ,it's just that since  everything else lasts so long --- mountains ,rivers ,stars ,the planets  -- life seems short Actually life lasts just the right amount of time until you die .Death on  the other hand is short .
>
> 46 .Sometimes I come across  a sign I don't like: " Authorized Personnel Only "  Now if  there's one thing I know about myself  it's that I am definitely not authorized  I wouldn't even know where to get authorized .Can you do it by Mail or online .It doesn't matter .I get  through the door anyway .If I get stopped I say "Well I may  not be authorized for you but I  am authorized for other things And your sign doesn't mention which things "
>
> 47 .It's odd that the word breath becomes breathe by adding a letter at the end and yet the  pronunciation changes in the middle .And woman becomes women by changing the vowel   at the end while the pronunciation changes near the beginning
>
>  .Was somebody drunk when  these decisions were made ?
>
> 48 .I saw a sign in San Jose which said " park and ride " .It's confusing .They really ought to make up their minds .
>
> 49.I  saw another sign in Pittsburgh which said " Park and Lock " .If you park and  lock you are stuck in the car .It should be ,park ,get out and lock "
>
> 50.DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY is necessary because of the many diseases diplomats are  exposed to  in various countries .
>
> 51.if you mail a letter to the post office who delivers it
>
> 52.what is the plural of a hell of a guy  ? " Hells of Guys ?"
>
> 53 .Why does  Filipino start with an F  whereas Philippines start with Ph ?
>
> 54 .People readily admit that they have bad handwriting or that they can't do  mathematics .But they will never admit to having a poor sense of humor or being a bad driver .
>
> 55 .If you post a letter to your postman will he get it before he is supposed to ?
>
> 56 .And lastly here's something I can do without : people ahead of me on the  supermarket line who are paying for an inexpensive item by credit card .Chewing  Gum is not a major purchase .And I get just as discouraged when a guy who is
> buying one small bottle of tomato sauce tries to use his credit .Honestly folks carry some money around will you ? It comes in handy .No one should be allowed to buy a loaf of bread with a credit card .
>
> 57.And about these characters at the airport gift shop who think somehow they are in  the biggest  Mall in  India ? It's an airport ! I'm standing there with just one old newspaper .I have got to get to my  Plane .Why does the mentally retarded hippie  ahead of me  choose this moment to purchase a six different six different  flavours of chewing gum , four new pairs of jeans  and some stationery ?And of  course lady at the counter has to take  ages to wrap each item separately .And now the other girl in the counter gets the  doubt as to whether she they can
> accept Turkish traveler's cheques .You know  what you feel like doing .Throw the  stuff you wanted to buy and run like hell to  catch your flight .
>
> 58. What exactly is meant when someone calls a boxer the undisputed champion of the World. If there is no dispute what's the problem?
