Mark Twain's advice to escape a trap

[demonrho]

CUSHION FIRST

When all your days are dark with doubt;
And drying hope is at its worst;
When all life’s balls are scattered wide,
With not a shot in sight, to left or right,
Don’t give it up;
Advance your cue and shut your eyes,
And take the cushion first.

-- Mark Twain

Take a ride, use the cushion....:heh Hockey, use the boards.
