My son was giving me grief about using aphorisms, and asked me if I had anything original to say. I reminded him of one of my very own (at least as far as I know) aphorisms, or more accurately an aphorism with my own twist:

Time flies whether you have fun or not, so you might as well have fun

Okay, maybe it doesn’t rank up there with

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana

but at least it’s more than a funny line.
