I got an email today that said in part, ". . . or leave well enough alone and pray you are not faced with a Hobson's choice." Have you heard of a Hobson's choice? I had to look it up. Hobson was in the horse business. He rented horses in England in the turn of the 16th century. He wanted to rotate the 40 horses in his livery so he told his customers they could rent the horse nearest the door or rent no horse at all.
