Geocache Description:

"A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer." - Bruce Lee

"Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor." - Sholom Aleichem


It is not so bad sometime to be the fool, to play the fool. Keep the world thinking and questioning your intentions and have fun. To play the fool is to sometimes do foolish thing, but to play the fool will keep life interesting and intertaining.

This is a part of Team Rock Album's Series of Fools, a set of caches that will all deal in some way or another with the foolishness of life. Like all Team Rock Album caches, this one will deal with a rock in some way or another. In this case, the original contents of this cache is a hunk of pyrite, or Fool's Gold, in the film canister. This piece of shiny rock is up for grabs to the first cacher to find the cache, or whoever may come after if they choose not to take it. I do ask that the one who takes the pyrite please replace it with another rock (any rock will do and can be located in the nearby rock bed), so that this cache can maintain its "rock" friend.

This shouldn't be a hard find for most, The name of the cache is inspired in part to the nearby business that I had the enjoyable time of play games at. While playing some foolish and childish games I decided to take a short break and asked if I could hide a cache one site. They jumped at the idea and like fools we ran outside to find a hiding spot. The manager picked a good spot, shouldn't be too hard for any cacher. He actually wanted to put it inside behind the counter, but we decided not to burden the employees with the foolish quest of seeking treasure. It is in the parking lot in an all too familiar hiding spot. Keep safe and keep and eye on the kids and pets.

 

To Play the Fool:

Fig. to act in a silly manner in order to amuse other people. The teacher told Tom to stop playing the fool and sit down. Fred likesplaying the fool, but we didn't find him funny last night.

 

And Remember:

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. - Abraham Lincoln

The fool thinks himself to be wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. - William Shakespeare

I was young and foolish then; now I am old and foolisher. - Mark Twain

He who knows he who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool, shun him; He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child, teach him. He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep, wake him. He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise, follow him. - A Persian Proverb

Folly is perennial, yet the human race has survived. - Bertrand Russel

 

Foolishness keeps us youthful and fun. Don't be afraid to roll up those sleves, kick of those shoes, and run around like a darned fool...it might be fun.

So remember, enjoylife, have fun, and get foolish from time to time.It makes life better and improves the world for everyone. So play the fool that you know you are.
