Sayings…

If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, “Quit while you’re ahead”? Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks? What hair color do they put on the driver’s licenses of bald men? I was thinking that women […]
