Proverbs Plus Nothing is difficult if you're used to it. -- Indonesian Proverb And Then There's...   Habits are like supervisors that you don't notice. -- Hannes Messemer  Reader's Digest CyberSmiles A friend of mine had just become a district court judge and was nervous about presiding impartially over his first criminal trial. As a former prosecutor, he could see the preponderance of evidence was clearly against the defendant. The proceedings went smoothly, until it was time for him to instruct the jury. "The jury," he said, "is to convene to the guilty room."  --Contributed to "All In a Day's Work" by John Dennis Olsen Smiles, grins & humor from the files of Reader's Digest!
