People say that size doesn’t matter, but we all know it
does, depending on what one is measuring. There’s an old joke about big feet,
big...naughty, naughty, naughty, not what I was referring to at all. I was
thinking more of the following examples.
In money amounts: the dollar amount in your bank account, the
amount owing on your credit card. Then there’s your hourly wage earned or outstanding
mortgage, or even cash in your pocket.
Then there’s appearance: weight for women is always an
issue, just as height is for a man. Some things never change.
How about the weather? Amount of predicted rain or snow, and
let’s not forget the scales used to measure the force of a tornado or
hurricane.
Funny, what inspired this whole thought process was the cap
on my bottle of water. I find the cap hard to open as it is so narrow, barely
5/16ths of an inch. Not usual for many products is the fact that the bottle is
filled right to the top, and the plastic used is so very thin. Every time I struggle
to open the bottle I squeeze it and once the cap is off I splash myself with
water.
I go through this every morning with the bottle of water I
keep at my bedside, and use to take my morning pills. I have to find a new
system.
Back to things where size matters, how could I forget the
fishermen? In any good fisherman’s tale it was always the big one that got away.
