    I wonder if that line was used at Bill Cosby's trial. ;)

    Less than perfect is better than best intentions

    I tend to try to be a perfectionist and need to remember that one

    Not to pick too many nits, but the saying should be: "The truth of the pudding is in the eating."

    Nits are meant to be picked; otherwise, they have no value. ;)

    I heard that one of the unions is getting upset because the nits were being picked out of season and by migrant nit pickers.

    There was a real story a while ago where the town's unionized maintenance staff went on strike, and the Boy Scouts went out and cleaned up the parks. The union went to court to force them to stop. Apparently in a union town, the law prevents a regular citizen from picking up a gum wrapper.
