WITandWISDOM(tm) - August 14, 2000 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "You shall judge of a man by his foes as well as by his friends." - Joseph Conrad Source: Gagler's Quote of the Day, signupquotes@gagler.com via http://www.witandwisdom.org ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Arnold Bennett, the British novelist, had a publisher who boasted about the extraordinary efficiency of his secretary. One day while visiting the publisher's office, Bennett asked her: "Your boss claims you're extremely efficient. What's your secret?" "It's not my secret," said the secretary, "it's his." Each time she did something for him, no matter how insignificant, she explained, he never failed to acknowledge and appreciate it. Because of this, she took infinite pains with her work.

If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. There are two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco. Always drink upstream from the herd. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket. Submitted by Lyle R. Pohly via http://www.witandwisdom.org ~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING: While on maternity leave, a woman from our office brought in her new bundle of joy. She also had her seven-year-old son with her. Everyone gathered around the baby, and the little boy asked, "Mommy, can I have some money to buy a soda?" "What do you say?" she asked. Respectfully, the boy replied, "You're thin and beautiful." The woman reached in her purse and gave her son the money.
