Proverbs Plus The world is a rose; smell it and pass it to your friends. -- Persian Proverb And Then There's...   Every once in a while, take the scenic route. -- H. Jackson Brown, Jr.   ("Life's Little Instruction Book")  Reader's Digest CyberSmiles The milk shake machine at the fast-food restaurant I manage was broken, so I had an assistant post a sign to that effect on the drive-through speaker. A short time later, a customer pulled up to the speaker. "May I take your order?" I asked.  Crash, boom, bang! came the response. I asked the customer to pull around. "Were you pounding on the speaker?" I asked the driver. "Yes, I was," she admitted. "Why would you do that?" "Because the sign on the speaker said 'Shake Machine Broken.'
