As far as following rules go, I can never be accused of being a By The Book Betty. As a matter of fact, I have done my best to break every rule I could, or at least tried to bend them as far as possible without having any snap back in my face. There is, however, one rule that I gladly abide by.
It is modern translation for the ancient Latin phrase:
OMNE TRIUMPERFECTUM
| EVERYTHING THAT COMES
IN THREES IS PERFECT.
or
EVERY SET OF THREE IS COMPLETE.  |
Seriously, I 'll put 3 up against any other number. We're talking about a very powerful and pervasive digit here. I don't like to mess with it and the magic it brings. After all, that's why they say---
THREE is always the number of wishes allowed by a genie or a monkey's paw.

Witches who have achieved lasting fame have come in THREES, from ancient mythology to modern Eastwick.

In THE WIZARD OF OZ,
there is never even a mention of a Good Witch Of The South. We only see The Good Witch Of The North, The Wicked Witch Of The West, and what was left of The Wicked Witch Of The East. Even though we only get a glimpse of her legs for a few seconds before they curl away, it's still enough to make her part of the most famous TRIO OF WITCHES of all time.
THREE is the times you click your heels to go home.

| There are also the 3 sides of a triangle that sometimes hold great unsolved mysteries... |

or the THIRD rail, World War THREE, or
the THIRD Reich...

DEATH DOESN'T LIKE TO STOP AT ONE OR TWO, AND PREFERS TO COME IN THREES.
AND IF YOU WANT TO TAKE MATTERS INTO YOUR OWN HANDS, YOU CAN'T BE CALLED A SERIAL KILLER UNTIL YOU HAVE KILLED IN THREE OR MORE SEPERATE EVENTS.
ON THE FUNNIER SIDE OF THREE,
THERE ARE COUNTLESS BAR JOKES AND GREAT COMIC TRIOS......

THREE is also the number in games of chance, questions to answer, and choices to make...

All the way down to
the ultimate THREE
This is not to say that THREE s always the perfect number. For instance, 3 is a terrible number as far as the human body is concerned. 3 fingers and 3 toes is certainly not as handy. Having only 3 teeth would make chewing and smiling very inconvenient. 3 nostrils would be handy for snorting drugs but would be exhausting to pick. 3 testicles couldn't fit in hardly any one's mouth, and 3 strains of hair couldn't be combed into any good style.
THREE also doesn't work best for European cheek kissing, or for draw and quartering a prisoner, or when riding a see-saw, or when you only know how to diffuse a bomb that has two wires..jpeg)
=================================================
I've told you so much about my belief in the completeness of THREE for a reason. My third year of writing this blog is coming to a close, and it will be the last. STUTTERPUSS will end at THREE. The next entry will be PART 3 of STUTTERVILLE which will be a great way to say goodbye. It will also be my opportunity to explain what these last three years have meant and has taught me. So get ready for my last hurrah----

P.S.- I forgot to include one more THREE, which I can't figure out where to put--
