I was talking with my good friend, Chuck, this weekend.  He was doing some business work in an excel document and he expressed his pleasure with the ‘undo’ button. 

During one of our get together’s my brother made a statement as we were watching some horse races.  He said, “A horse doesn’t know his odds.” Hmmmm.
