Meaningless Fluff

"Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings". Is it true?

The writer has the cause and effect reversed. In any event, the phrase comes from the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life."

It was a great movie, but don't read more into it than is really there. Watch the movie at Christmas time, but not any other recognized holiday.

The phrase was a meaningless bit of fluff used to illustrate a point in the plotline. Now "some" people have taken a device created by a Hollywood writer as scripture and actually think it's true.

It has no basis in fact or dogma. It was just a tool used to keep the plot moving. It should never be said or used in any other context than in reference to that movie. So there!

Did you have to wrestle the title out of More's gun-clenching finger or did you just sneak up and grab it while she thought you were ignoring her?
