1 FaverShareViewed: 10 TimesQuoted: Ernest Hemingway was once prodded to compose a complete story in six words. His answer, personally felt to be his best prose ever, was "For sale: baby shoes, never used." Some people say it was to settle a bar bet.

Quoted: During the holiday season, several roads in my town were temporarily closed due to flooding. I was naturally worried how the road closures would affect traffic. But in the end, my fears were unfounded. Not only was traffic mostly unaffected, I often found my travel times were reduced!
