A lumberjack once told me he's cut down 27,653 trees.
“How do you know exactly how many?” I inquired.
“Easy. I keep a log.”
Eve: "My dear Jack is so forgetful."
Celia: "I agree. At the party last night I had to keep reminding him that it's you that he's engaged to and not me."
What does consensus mean?
Consensus means that everyone agrees to say collectively what no one will say individually.
Sitting on the bank of a stream a young fisherman trolled his bait lazily in the water and chewed comfortably on a blade of grass.
"Catch anything yet?" asked the stranger.
"Nope," murmured the fishermen.
"That's strange. It appears to be such a fine stream for trout," said the stranger.
"It must be," replied the fishermen, "they refuse to leave it."
