Sledge's Old Mum's Sayings #1

English being her fifth language after Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and German -- if we don't count the numerous Indigenous languages she had to learn for her anthropological work -- The Old Mum had some strange sayings.
I guess non-natives pick them up as kinds of formulæ.
One was "Where there's no sense, there's no feeling".
(Often applied to Yrs Truly.)
It's a wonderful one because so ambiguous.
I take the "sense" to mean "nous" (another word she liked; as in "Percy, use your bloody nous"*) and "feeling" to refer to bodily sensation.
But there are so many other combinations.
If you check the Thesaurus for "sense" and "feeling", you can unpack this little bugger of a saw pretty much however you like.

Maybe she'd been reading that J.L. Austin who was, in his turn, probably punning on J. Austen.
Who knows?
I do not have sufficient sense to make sense of it.
So it's just a vague feeling.
