"The shortest and surest way to live with honor in the world is to be in reality
what we would appear to be." - Socrates

Someone in our office sent out an email with error which changed it's intended meaning: "I'm going to be a log for awhile."

This led to co-workers who expressed a desire to be: a brick, water, waterfall. . .

Finally, since I hadn't joined in, came the question, "Well, what do you want to be?!!!

Giving it a  brief thought, I replied, "me".

I was perceived to be "uncreative"  . . .

"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle" Lewis Carroll

So the next day, I told them my revised answer, "me, with a trillion tax free dollars"

the reply, "Only a trillion?"
