Recently I ran across the proverbs that appear below. As you read them, consider Xmas, Congress and the business community.

Think about them.

*A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining, but wants it back the minute it begins to rain (When the economy tanked "Who got bailed out, and whose money did the bailing?")

*A child is a person who can dismantle in 5 minutes the toy it took you 5 hours to put together (Those with kids -)

*A man walks, God places the feet (If you have to trust someone, trust God)

*A new broom sweeps clean, but the old brush knows all the corners (Think twice before laying off long term, dedicated employees)

*A person who can smile when things go wrong has found someone to blame it on (GOP v. DNC, right?)

*Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity (Ohhhh, the mind simply quails)

*Be kind to people on the way up, you may need them when you are on your way down (I'll re-post that one as the national elections draw closer)
