Don’t stay under life’s umbrella too long…it will prevent you from seeing the sky. Even though The Morton Salt Girl is under an umbrella…she is tossing out a little salt, right? -Sheila Tolley-
There was a university in New England where the students operated a “bank” of term papers and other homework assignments. There were papers to suit all needs. You had your choice of papers for an A-grade, B-grade, and C-grade.
A student who had spent the weekend on pursuits other than her assignment, went to the bank and took out a paper for a C-grade. She went home, retyped it, and handed it in.
In due time she received it back with the grade of an ‘A’. The professor left the following comment, “I wrote this paper myself twenty years ago. I always thought it should have received an A, so now I am glad to give it one.”

“A martini. Shaken, not stirred.” Goldfinger, 1964 Fun fact: This iconic scene has been parodied over and over again. In Casino Royale, 42 years later, Daniel Craig’s James Bond will be asked, “Shaken or stirred” and Bond responds “Do I look like I give a damn?”
