Proverbs Plus The best advice is found on the pillow. -- Danish Proverb And Then There's...   Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into, the mind. -- Samuel Taylor Coleridge  Reader's Digest CyberSmiles A co-worker had a unique scheme to meet women. He'd call numbers at random from the phone book. If a man picked up, he apologized for dialing the "wrong" number. But when a woman answered, he'd strike up a conversation. One day, the department manager overheard him bragging how he averaged two dates a week from this ploy. Was he fired? Did he receive a reprimand? No, he was named Director of Telemarketing.  --Contributed to "All In a Day's Work" by Richard Reynolds Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest!
