I just came up with a good one in another thread while replying to something
Pepe Papon said. I post it here in its own thread because it is so
inspirational and so utterly brilliant that I did not want it to get lost in
a minor thread.

Ok, here it is. This is really good, and I just came up with it. You can
use this for a signature line if you want.

"50% stupid is better than 90% stupid"

That was, in fact, very good. I'm sorry that I neglected to mention
that in my reply to your reply to my reply. It's good enough to be a
.sig line.

If you bet 50% of your stack on garbage, you're more likely to lose. If
you bet 90%, you're more likely to win.

If we could reduce RGP to 50% stupid it would be a 100% improvement.

That calculation is definitely 90% stupid or "winning poker player" stupid
as some would say.

You can shake it all you want. You can bang it on the wall.
But it has to be in your pants to make the last drops fall.
