Every time we went, my Mom would always say "Fools' names and fools' faces always appear in public places". Needless to say....our names were never carved up there!
My Mom always said that too, well, almost. I think she said "are always found" instead of "always appear. But same idea. I haven't heard that for so long. Thanks for the reminder.
