Dress Sense Employed by the human-development center of a larger corporation, a young woman trains employees in proper dress codes and etiquette. One day as she was stepping onto the elevator, a man casually dressed in jeans and a golf shirt got on with her. Thinking of her responsibilities, she scolded, "Dressed a little casually today, aren't we?" The man shrugged, "Yeah, well, that's one benefit of owning the company." True "A couple of months research in the laboratory can save a couple of hours research in the library." -Westheimer's Discovery "Gravity cannot be held responsible for two people falling in love." -Albert Einstein Secret to Success Helen and Amanda were discussing their busy schedules.

Wow, that's not a bad name, I like it! What's the boy's name?" "Denephew."
