Folk Wisdom
The man with time to burn never gave the world any light.
From One Who Knows

Why Worry
There are only two things to worry about, either you are healthy or you are sick. If you are healthy, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick there are only two things to worry about, either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die there are only two things to worry about, either you will go to heaven or to hell. If you go to heaven, then there is nothing to worry about.
And if you to go hell, you’ll be so darn busy shaking hands with your friends you won’t have time to worry!

What’s in a Name?
Chorbajian revisited. Turkish in derivation, identified as a trade, chorba is defined as soup, and chorbajuh, a maker or seller of soup.
However, there are other meanings to chorbajuh that have no connection with soup. It can mean the head of a group, or a Christian notable (now used jokingly about non-Muslims); or an official entertainer of guests in a village.
