    " A Fool And His Money Are Soon Parted"

    As for the history of this phrase, it is over 450 years old! This expression has been around since at least the year 1557, as it was used by the poet Thomas Tusser. He wrote a poem called Five Hundred Points of Good Husbandry, and the saying can be found within:

    "A foole and his money be soone at debate: which after with sorow repents him too late."

                        General Mark Clark, commander of U.S. ground forces in WW11 was asked what the best advice ever given to him was. "To marry the girl I did," he replied. "And who gave you that advice?"

                        "She did," said Clark.

                            Jerry Lee Lewis never went beyond the 6th grade , and although some have objections to his lifestyle , nevertheless I do admire the man for having a dream , setting goals and eventually becoming a rock super star!
                            Rick Bragg Tells all in a new book on the life of Jerry lee Lewis. http://www.vintageguitar.com/19697/j...nd-rick-bragg/
                            Folks scroll down to the author Rick Bragg and listen to him speak of Jerry . I must admit I read the book and was impressed.
