Prompt: "Fine Mess" Oliver Hardy often said to Stan Laurel in several Laurel and Hardy films, "This is another fine mess you've gotten us into." What is your definition of a fine mess and what kind of images does the word mess bring into your mind? I remember Laurel and Hardy from when I was very young. Their films would often play at our local cinema. I’ve seen little pieces of their classic scenes pop up on Facebook occasionally, and as they say, you’d have to be dead not to raise a laugh, or at least a smile. I believe I’ve been known to use the term,’fine mess,’ on a few occasions in my life, and have been in a fine mess myself on more than one. It’s usually been when someone starts out with good intentions and things go awry. We have a family member who currently has got herself into a fine mess and it’s hard at the moment to see how she’s going to get out of it. All sorts of people, even those who should no better, such as politicians find themselves there too. It’s usually drugs, greed, or an old fashioned sex scandal one those occasions. They often lose everything they worked for because of one stupid mistake and find themselves in hot water. Or in those cases a ‘fine old mess.’ |
