Though the late, great Mose Alison wasn't thinking about Volleytalk when he wrote "Your Mind is on Vacation," he could have been. There's an implicit rule in these lyrics, one verse of which I've quoted below, which some of us probably could benefit from:
"You're quoting figures, you're dropping names
You're telling stories about the dames
You're always laughin' when things ain't funny
You try to sound like you're big money
If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime"
(It may not apply to most of you at all; Mose added in another verse that "If you don't like the song I'm singing, just grin and bear it, All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it")
"You're quoting figures, you're dropping names
You're telling stories about the dames
You're always laughin' when things ain't funny
You try to sound like you're big money
If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime"
