Curiosity killed the cat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Curiosity killed the cat is a proverb used to warn against being too curious lest one come to harm. A less frequent rejoinder to 'curiosity killed the cat' is 'satisfaction brought it back'.[1]

[edit] Origins

The earliest printed reference to the origin of this proverb is attributed to British playwright Ben Jonson in his 1598 play, Every Man in His Humour (performed first by British playwright William Shakespeare).

...Helter skelter, hang sorrow, care will kill a cat, up-tails all, and a pox on the hangman.
​

In this instance, "care" was defined as "worry" or "sorrow."
Shakespeare used a similar quote in his circa 1599 play, Much Ado About Nothing:
“What, courage man! what though care killed a cat, thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care.”
[edit] Usages

• The proverb apparently remained the same until at least 1898. Ebenezer Cobham Brewer included this definition in his Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:

“Care killed the Cat. It is said that "a cat has nine lives," yet care would wear them all out.

• The origin of the modern variation is unknown. The earliest known printed reference that is similar in style and meaning to the current proverb is O. Henry's short story Schools and Schools from 1909:

“Curiosity can do more things than kill a cat; and if emotions, well recognized as feminine, are inimical to feline life, then jealousy would soon leave the whole world catless.”

• The earliest known printed reference to the actual phrase occurred in The Washington Post on 4 March 1916 (page 6):

“CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT.

Four Departments of New York City Government Summoned to Rescue Feline.

From the New York World.

Curiosity, as you may recall—

On the fifth floor of the apartment house at 203 West 130th street lives Miss Mable Godfrey. When she came to the house about seven months ago she brought Blackie, a cat of several years' experience of life.

The cat seldom left the apartment. He was a hearth cat, not a fence cat, and did not dearly love to sing. In other respects he was normal and hence curious.

Last Tuesday afternoon when Miss Godfrey was out Blackie skipped into the grate fireplace in a rear room. He had done this many times before. But he had not climbed up the flue to the chimney. This he did Tuesday. Blackie there remained, perched on the top of the screen separating the apartment flue from the main chimney, crying for assistance. Miss Godfrey, returning, tried to induce her pet to come down. If you are experienced in felinity, you know that Blackie didn't come down.

On Wednesday the cat, curiosity unsatisfied, tried to climb higher—and fell to the first floor. His cries could still be heard by Miss Godfrey; who, to effect Blackie's rescue, communicated with the following departments:
1. Police department.
2. Fire department.
3. Health department.
4. Building department.
5. Washington Heights court.

Among them they lowered a rope to Blackie. But it availed neither the cat nor them anything.
Thursday morning, just before noon, a plumber opened the rear wall back of the chimney. Blackie was taken out. His fall had injured his back. Ten minutes later Blackie died.

• The proverb, though, has been widely attributed to Eugene O'Neill who included the variation, "Curiosity killed a cat!" in his play Diff'rent from 1920:

 

Then go to the zoo and ask a monkey...why ask if you are only going to argue and dispute anybody who tries to give you an honest answer?

With this attitude you have of; "I know better than you because it said so in an advertisement" you should get along very well with one of the "monkeys" Swift has as Mentors...but if you want good training, better change your attitude. But as I said before, if you have any experience (your info says trucker 1 year)..Swift isn't hiring "experienced" drivers...but you can ask the monkey on your back for all I care! But you are probably too young to understand that statement!

 

Hmmm...

• Major attitude
• Major speed violation
• A significant wreck (significant enough that Swift is worried about it )
• Agressively challenging drivers that have accumulated more time flagging pee stops than you have on line 3
• A 21-year-old know-it-all
• Listening to a recruiter

I recommend you learn the phrase, "Do you want fries with that?"

The number and types of endorsements you have are essentially meaningless in light of what you actually do with them. If I were looking to hire drivers (and I am), I'm not sure you would even warrant a courtesy call telling you, "No."

 

While he is at the zoo talking to the monkeys...maybe he should apply for the elephant dung removal job...that could require a haz-mat certification of the drivers license with his little electric cart and wagon!

 

Right now thats not it. Its your age and experience level. If you have a carrier in your area try to go to work in the yard as what ever, or as a dock worker. That will get your foot in the door.

 

No... It doesn't. But since you seem to know it all already, why the hell are you here asking questions?

Talking to monkey's at the zoo is starting to look more like your speed anyway.

Have fun in the monkey house.

 

Some states are really hard on speeders. Not so much in California, where non-commercial speeding citations are considered infractions, even at speeds exceeding 100mph. Here's an exerpt from the California Vehicle Code:

Excessive Speed and Designated Lane Use

22348. (b) A person who drives a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than 100 miles per hour is guilty of an infraction punishable, as follows:
(1) Upon a first conviction of a violation of this subdivision, by a fine of not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500). The court may also suspend the privilege of the person to operate a motor vehicle for a period not to exceed 30 days pursuant to Section 13200.5.

 

That's because there are so many recruiters on the internet!

I never understood people who ask you a question and then argue with your answer.
