"Clothes Make The Man But...


...Women Make The Decision."


While doing stretching exercises at the gym, a cliche Clothes make the man rolled out of the brain, immediately followed by another cliche: Women make the decision.



The cliche combo made me hunger for this blog site. I bicycled home as soon as possible.

That any two numbers can be added together was not originated by the good folks at the Lewis Carroll School of Logic. However, this was:
Any two number of word thingies joined by a conjunction can be, if not the mother of invention, a new born babe in the word family.

Therefore I googled–within quotation marks–"Clothes Make The Man But Women Make The" and logic prevailed. The word clothes tail-ended a quote that began with the same word.

As if a sock of a different color was replaced in the portmanteau suitcase, stuffed with mixed metaphors, please welcome the new-born babe:

Clothes make the man but women make the decision.
