Proverbs Plus A guest is like rain: when he lingers on, he becomes a nuisance. -- Yiddish Proverb And Then There's...   Santa Claus has the right idea:  Visit people once a year. -- Victor Borge  Reader's Digest CyberSmiles When a woman came through my cashier's line at Wal-Mart, her purchase came to twenty dollars. "That's what I had in my hand. You must be psychic," she joked. "I am," I teased. "I knew exactly how much you wanted to spend." The next customer stepped up and, looking at me with a big grin, pulled out a one-dollar bill.  --Contributed to "All In a Day's Work" by Melissa Morse Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest!
