Price Went Up<\/b><\/p>\n
It seems there was a pretzel stand out front of an office building in New York. One day, a man came out of the building, plunked down a quarter, and then went on his way without taking a pretzel. This happened every day for three weeks. Finally, the old lady running the stand spoke up: \u201cSir, excuse me. May I have a word with you?\u201d<\/p>\n
The fellow said: \u201cI know what you\u2019re going to say. You\u2019re going to ask me why I give you a quarter every day and don\u2019t take a pretzel.\u201d<\/p>\n
And the woman said, \u201cNot at all, I just want to tell you that the price is now 35 cents.\u201d<\/p>\n
(From a speech by William Schreyer, chairman of Merrill Lynch)<\/p>\n
Eight <\/p>\n
1. Never have more children than you have car windows.<\/p>\n
2. Never loan your car to someone to whom you have given birth.<\/p>\n
3. Pick your friends carefully. A \u201cfriend\u201d never goes on a diet when you are fat or tells you how lucky you are to have a husband who remembers Mother\u2019s Day\u2014when his gift is a smoke alarm.<\/p>\n
4. Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the Titanic who waved off the dessert cart.<\/p>\n
5. Know the difference between success and fame. Success is Mother Teresa. Fame is Madonna.<\/p>\n
6. Never be in a hurry to terminate a marriage. Remember, you may need this man-woman someday to finish a sentence.<\/p>\n
7. There are no guarantees in marriage. If that\u2019s what you\u2019re looking for, go live with a Sears battery.<\/p>\n
8. Never go to a class reunion pregnant. They will think that\u2019s all you have been doing since you graduated.<\/p>\n

Quote<\/b><\/p>\n
\u2022 During the Victorian era, one how-to-do-it-right manual was Lady Gough\u2019s Book of Etiquette. In this volume, putting books by male authors next to books by female authors was forbidden\u2014unless the authors were married.<\/p>\n
