Hey hey! Wool on his feet? You are surely not suggesting that the Tisroc (peace be on him) was a HOBBIT!?*#! As a Tolkienist of *very* long standing , I object to that remark very strongly!

P.S.: Alternatively, there is the old Jewish exhortation, which, if I remember it correctly, goes something like the following:

May you have a hundred bank accounts, and in each account a hundred thousand dollars, and all these accounts be investment accounts, and each of these accounts be invested in rock-solid stock that gives a 20% per annum interest, and all the money from that interest you spend on doctors' bills for a painful, embarassing chronic disease which none of the doctors can cure.

May his servants laugh at him behind his back.

May his lumpy pillows never be cool.

May his feet always be cold.

May his sheets always be twisted round.

May he never find a cricket on his hearth.

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.
