Not so keen on bats.

Today's quote from A Fancy Word for Simple:

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!” -- Dr. Seuss

I actually think that big bats cause more troubles than they solve. I can understand the idea of feeling attacked on all sides and needing to have a bat to beat them away, but in my life, I've rarely found that to be a solution. The trouble just learn to avoid the bat and hit lower. As a button of mine reads: I tried to drown my sorrows, but the little suckers learned how to swim.
