" It's just as easy to marry a rich man as a poor man "...said my mother...

( Sooo how come my two husbands " didn't have a pot to piss in " when we married? )

"A little bird fell out of a tree, and was sitting on the ground cold and shivering, when a cow came by and dropped a pie on it. The bird was warm and comfy after that. That just goes to show if you think you are being crapped on, it might be for your own good."

From My Name Is Nobody.

A variation on that one Bighuey:
Bird falls out of tree, cow comes by & droppes a pie on it. Birdie sticks his head out of cowpie and farmer comes along with mower & chops little birdies head off.
Moral of the Story: When you're in the crap, keep your head down!

Come to think of it, I think that was the way I heard it too. Only a wolf cleaned the bird off then ate it. Better off to stay in the crap.

Style is that which indicates how the writer takes himself and what he is saying. It is the mind skating circles around itself as it moves forward.
