I think, therefore I am.
— Rene Descartes, French scientist and philosopher
Leave it to the French to get things the wrong way ’round. (You’ll have to pardon Grandfather for that one.)
Grandfather says, “He am, therefore he thinks; and the more a person thinks, the more he am.”
Come to think of of it — there’s that word “think,” again — it’s like the chicken and the egg.
What difference does it make which came first?

I never thought much about it (hehe) but recently my granddaughter acquired a t-shirt for my ham-radio-loving hubby. It reads:
I think, there I ham.
Can’t think of a sensible reply, so I’ll pun(t).
