A pet theory-- most people fit into either of two categories:
Those who hum as they work, and those who start humming another
song loudly and continue till the former stops, unable to carry on her own
tune.
Those who read books, and those who discuss the book without
reading it.
Those who do their housework, and those who don't but advise all
about how to do it.
Those who pay the auto fare, and those who give loud instructions
to the auto driver and co-passengers.
Those who foot the bill in restaurants and theatres, and those who
squirm out of it but are still discontented.
Those who work and are unappreciated, and those who don't but are
praised.
Those who blow up balloons for parties, nursing their aching face
muscles quietly, and those who burst the balloons energetically within minutes.
Those who work, and those who theorize.
Those who believe that everything is their fault, and those who
believe such people.
Those who read the newspaper quietly, and those who hold forth
about everything in it.
Those who attain a mature level of thinking early in life, and
those who are immature even at 40 years of age.
Those who are embarrassed to ask for money that is theirs by
right, and those who demand loans loud and clear.
Those who wear gold jewellery sparingly, and those who wear large
amounts of costume jewellery.
Those who are in contact with childhood friends, and those who
aren't.
Those who like plants, and those who talk about liking plants.
Those who, as guests, make the host feel capable and appreciated,
and those who leave the host feeling sad and incompetent.
Those who remember birthdays, and those who don't.
Those who remember birthdays and wish, and those who remember but
don't wish!
Those who are humourous, and those who are devoid of humour.
Those who can't sleep for hours during the day, and those who can.
Those who forget grudges and move on, and those who nurture
grudges.
And those who belong mostly to the second category have a loud
voice and are often crashing bores!
