“I view tea drinking as a destroyer of health, an enfeebler of the frame, an en-genderer of effeminancy and laziness, a debaucher of youth and maker of misery for old age.

“When anyone hurts us, my wife and I sit in our Japanese sand garden and drink iced tea. There are five stone in the garden - for sky, wind, fire, water, and earth. We sit and think of five of the nicest things we can about the person who hurt us. If he hurts us a second time, we do the same thing. The third time, we light a candle, and he is, for us, dead.” IfsThinkingPersonsLightEarthWaterHurtFireFiveWifeSkyWindDrinkGardenStonesThirdsMy WifeTeaSandCandleThird TimeIced Tea Author:Red Skelton
