Perspective

You've heard that old story?
The one about the donkey
stuck, indecisive, between two bales of hay?
So simple to see the solution,
when you are not the one
slap dab in the middle
pulled in two opposite directions
at once.

May I just say:
1. Hay is pretty drab. Sucks for the donkey that those are his only two choices.
2. I know this is not intended to be funny, but it really made me smile. Kind of like an inside joke.
3. I like your tags.
4. I learned how to put things in italics and bold; the lack of ability to use them has made me crazy.

1. If they are not equal choices, the story makes no sense.

2. It is.

3. Thank you.

4. Aren't you special? You'll have to teach me the trick.

1. I KNOW they have to be equal choices, but couldn't he choose between two bowls of ice cream or two chocolates or - better yet - two bowls of chocolate ice cream!

4. The trick is this:
To bold - before the word type < b > and < /b > after the word (except no spaces; it won't let me type it exactly)
Italics is the same, except you use an i instead of b.

Taa-dah!
