Power Idioms
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
Example: Lenny thinks his dog's haircut is cool. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
​
Meaning: There is no standard for beauty, so what one person likes or sees in someone or something is not necessarily what others see; different people have different opinions.​
​
Origin: Many writers in the past have stated the idea that what one person thinks is ugly, another person may think is beautiful. The "eye" is really the mind, thoughts, feelings, and emotions of the "beholder," or the person who is looking at the person or thing.

PowerTalk Punch Lines
Why do fish sing out of tune? - You can't tuna fish!
​
What's the difference between a man buying a lottery ticket and a man arguing with his wife? - The man buying a lottery ticket actually has a chance to win!
​
The value of a good vocabulary:
I called an old University classmate and asked what he was doing. He replied that he was working on "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum, and steel under a constrained environment." - I was impressed… However, upon further inquiry, I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife's supervision.​​

You're pumped... You're peaked... it's game time... Bring it!
