My car would not start this morning. I lifted the bonnet to have a look and there was a bat sitting on the engine! :shock:

"Good morning Jeff" he said, "what a good looking fellow you are, well dressed, suave and elegant".

I immediately knew the problem; BAT FLATTERY.

I use that expression all the time, but never thought of it like that.
Good one Jeff.

So, if the pony is great with with kids then presumably it's a package deal and the kids go too :blush: (Pedro logic)

There is a moral to this story but I am not sure exactly what it is.

In ancient Greece (469 -  399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom. One day an acquaintance  ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard  about Diogenes?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates  replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called  the Triple Filter Test."
"Triple filter?" asked the  acquaintance.
"That's right," Socrates  continued, "Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter  what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely  sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
"No," the man said, "Actually I  just heard about it."
"All right," said Socrates, "So  you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter,  the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes  something good?"
"No, on the  contrary..."
"So," Socrates continued, "You  want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're  not certain it's true?"
The man shrugged, a little  embarrassed. Socrates continued, "You may still pass the test though, because  there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me  about Diogenes going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."
"Well," concluded Socrates, "If  what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it  to me or anyone at all?"
The man was bewildered and  ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held  in such high esteem.
It also explains why Socrates never found out that Diogenes was banging his wife.
