I hope everybody reading will understand the expression ‘wisdom dressed in stupid clothes’. Although I’ve just invented it on the spot, it refers to the everyday occurance of somebody saying or doing something fairly dim, which unintentionally makes a decent point. Asking “Do you play the guitar?” to somebody strumming away is clearly an absurb inquiry; what it does, however, is raise the more sublte question of whether or not that person should actually be playing the guitar at that moment in time. Try it next time you’re at a funeral.

I raise this point because somebody in my line of work recently claimed “Having a four-person set of garden furniture may cause problems during gatherings of more than four people.” This point seemed so obvious that I was tempted to strike the speaker about the face for wasting everybody’s time. Before I could raise my hand, however, a decent point emerged from his otherwise abhorrent assault on my mental faculties. It occured to me that, while it may seem sensible to buy garden furniture based on the number of people in your household, it is perhaps wiser to buy it based on when you are likely to use it. My grandma, for example, never sits outside unless she has company – yet she only has one garden chair, because she lives alone. This is a ridiculous state of affairs – if you tend to use garden furniture when you entertain people, make sure you buy the furniture with this is mind!
