"Boarding-House" is a word in LAW AND LEGAL
A boarding-house is not ln common parlance, or in legal mean-ing, every private house where one or more boarders are kept occasionally only and upon special considerations. But it is a quasi pub-lie house, where boarders are generally and habitually kept, and which is held out and known as a place of entertainment of that kind. Cady v. McDowell, 1 Lans. (N. Y.) 486
It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions. They have their place in heaven also.
WORD SUGGESTIONS
A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three Hell's Angels' bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old man's milk and then he too took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and then he took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either, he just backed his big-rig over three motorcycles."
