It has been a while that i haven’t updated anything but thanx to my dear friend Ankita, i am posting something off herself. Let me tell you the fact that this girl is an amazing writer. I should say the exact word as Professional writer unlike me who is just a stupid slow & sleazy blogger. She is a copyright and writes article professionally.
I would like to request her to write something for this blog whenever she gets time from her busy schedule. Below now i am posting new interesting Laconic quotes she gave me. I don’t know if i am posting them correctly or not. The look so nice but i am not sure if they should be used properly into some articles. Its like when you get some powers and don’t know how to use it, all you know is you have powers and stay excited about that fact.
I would request all of you do read them they are really interesting.
Anyways here I go:
• In ancient Sparta, originally known as Laconia, the citizens were tolerant, cynical, enduring and known for their economy of speech. Legend has it that when Philip of Macedonia was invading Sparta (or Laconia), he sent a message to the besieged King saying, “If we capture your city, we will burn it to the ground”. A one word answer came back: “If”
• Calvin Coolidge, who, when he was the president of U.S.A. was often called “Silent Cat”. A young newspaper woman was sitting next to him at a banquet, so the story goes, and turned to him mischievously, “Mr. Coolidge”; she said, “I have a bet with my editor that I can get you to say more than two words to me this evening”. “You loose”, Coolidge replied simply.
• Like the woman who was sitting at a snack bar waiting for a ham- sandwich. When it is ready the assistant asked politely, “Will you eat it here, or take it with you?” Both”, was the laconic reply.
• A woman was watching a drunk imbibing dry martini at a cocktail bar. The drunk downed the content of each cocktail glass at one gulp, daintily nibbled and swallowed the bowl, then finally, turned the glass over and ate the base. The stem he threw into a corner. This amazing gustatory feat went on for half an hour, until a dozen stems were lying shattered in the corner, and the drunk had chewed and swallowed enough bowls and bases to start a glass factory. He suddenly turned to the lady and asked belligerently, “I suppose you think I’m crazy, don’t you?” Sure, the stem is the best part”, was the laconic reply.
Ankita we would like some more of those and some post from you.
