FINDING A GOOD DOCTOR
Never go back to an eye doctor whose examining room isn't large enough to swing a cat in. He's a frustrated doctor and will give up his practice soon.

UNDERSTANDING MODERN FRENCH PHILOSOPHY
To understand modern French philosophy, simply assume that everything intangible is real, while everything material is unreal. Thus, disappointment is real, but your Citroen is not.

HOW TO CRITICIZE
"The other day I learned the rules for playing snowballs with 5-year olds: a.) Be careful to just compact the snowballs enough to make them hold together b.) Aim comfortably wide of the mark. I suddenly realized that these are also good rules for offering criticism to anyone, big or small." - Robert Westbury
