“Common sense is the guy who tells you you ought to have your breaks relined last week before you smashed a front end this week. Common sense is the Monday morning quarter back who could have won the ball game if he had been on the team. But he never is. He's high up in the stands with a flack on his hip. Common sense is the little man in a gray suit who never makes a mistake in addition. But it's always someone else's money he's adding up.”
