Why behalf?

Why do people do or say things on other people's behalf?  What about bewhole?  This whole half assed business is disturbing I tell you.

And if they did go and do something on someone else's behalf what happens to the other half?  As to the quality of halves which one is the better one?   Gents to be polite always introduce their spouse as the better half.  But then that could simply mean they themselves are the best half?

There are so many other halves out there at this point that there is no point in even discussing it.  But yet here we are.

Doing just that.  Speaking of the haves and have nots they too have their share of halves.  Which means the have nots have effectively a quarter.  Of whatever it is.

Which leads to the haves getting three quarters.  See four quarters make it whole.  No wonder there is disparity and a whole bunch of tension around having.

But when it comes to have and to hold there is no guarantee people will do the latter.  The most important part of the promise which is 'to hold'.  Any one (to paraphrase my favorite comic, Seinfeld) can just Have.  It is much harder to Hold on to a have.


So hold on to whatever half you have been dealt for no one knows when you may get ejected from your quarters.
