    EV> A week before my appointment with a Doctor I went to Radiology   
    EV> and Laboratory for tests.   
    EV> When I saw the Doctor he looked at the reports and said they   
    EV> were good. I told him "No one has to pay me to be good, I'm   
    EV> good for nothing.".   
      
     I have felt that way many times over the years. But, after all the   
   mess of 2024 with "life", I'm getting back into my hobbies, especially   
   BBSing and amateur radio.   
      
    EV> The Doctor liked that and asked where I learned that saying, so   
    EV> I told him I made it up by myself.   
      
     I usually tell them "you can use it, it's free".    
      
    EV> After getting home I was thinking if I may had been repeating   
    EV> one of the Abbot and Costello routines such as Whos On First or   
    EV> I Can Prove You Are Not Here. Or I could have seen it in a   
    EV> Burma Shave message.   
      
     Like the criminal at his trial, where the prosecutor says he can   
   produce 10 people who saw the thug commit the crome...and the thug   
   replies "I can produce 20 people who didn't see me do it".   
      
     Or one of the bloopers that noted "The attorney told the Sunday   
   School class that his client was not that guilty". :P   
      
    EV> I thought to write you to see if you have heard that saying   
    EV> before, since you post some sayings like that, or maybe someone   
    EV> reading this has heard this "Good for nothing" phrase.   
    EV>  and can enlighten me.   
      
     I've heard "there's no excuse for you", and I reply "You leave my   
   parents out of this!!". :P

   ... I just got lost in thought.  It was unfamiliar territory.
