Bacon Bits for Tiger Woods

As for Tiger Woods, the # of mistresses currently standing at 11 or so (I am compelled to predict the final total for the Tiger Woods Infidelity Course to be 18).

He would have done well to pay attention to Francis Bacon's Essays, which include this wisdom:

X. Of Love
... it is impossible to love and to be wise... love is ever rewarded either with reciproque or with and inward and secret contempt.
... Nuptial love maketh mankind; friendly love perfecteth it; but wanton love corrupteth and embaseth it.

Here's an excuse I heard in court last week: The defendant had ran a stop sign and hit another car. The officer cited him for inattentive driving. Unfortunately, the officer also told him that based on the color of the car that he hit, it would have been very difficult to see. So defendant argued that he wasn't inattentive, he was in fact paying attention, he just couldn't see the car; for example, if you're looking for a pencil on your desk and can't find it, only to discover later that it is right in front of you, you're not being inattentive, you just can't see it. He also pointed out that in one line of the police report the officer got his name wrong (although it was right everywhere else) - and he said, "now that's inattentive." -- After a little discussion, he decided to enter a guilty plea and pay the fine.
