107. Word to the wise, honey: Steer clear of jars. (And of Ovid..)



Seems some folk don't appreciate truthful foretelling of the future, no matter how many times hindsight proves that the prediction was correct. In fact, the more times the oracle is proven to have been correct, the greater the resentment.
