History says, if it pleases, Excuse me, I beg your pardon, it will never happen again if I can help it.

By Carl Sandburg

Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky -- or the answer is wrong and you have to start over and try again and see how it comes out this time.
