French Two Knights Ideas
Compiled by Sergio X Garcia
--*--

"Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." ― Frederick Douglass

"Nothing is dearer to a chess player's heart than his rating. Well, of course everyone knows he's under-rated, but his rating, its ups and downs, however miniscule, are his ego's stock-market report." ― Lev Alburt

"The ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a further proof of the dictum that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it." ― Henry Hazlitt

No hiding the evidence
A man, shocked by how his buddy is dressed, asks him, "How long have you been wearing that bra?" The friend replies, "Ever since my wife found it in the glove compartment." — Submitted by Braeden Silvermist

Smelly...

Q: Why did Pinocchio's nose grow every time he slept? A: Because he was lying all the time.

I thought his nose jokes stink, but his eye jokes were even cornea.

I enrolled in a nose-whipping competition but was disqualified. I definitely blew it.

I asked my friend if he ever thought about how a nose smells. He told me that it doesn't.

My friend was accused of lying about how much snot came out of his nose when he sneezed. He was blowing it out of proportion.
