Do you have a "great quotation" handbook with you at all times or do you ever have any original ones?

Obviously (VERY obviously) you have not spent much time reading the classics! If you had, you would understand that there is nothing new under the sun; rather, today's thoughts are often best expressed by quoting the intellectual giants who come before us.

FYI, I save my "original" material for things that are of benefit to tanning salon owners and the indoor tanning industry.

PS: Search as I may, I can't seem to find ANY of your "original thoughts" that would be of benefit to the industry. Could you direct me to where they might be published?

So convincing friends to pay for the privlage of whitewashing a fence; or striding up the aisle at your own funeral, can never be improved on? expanded on? new thought is dead?
Don I have no desire to be THE authority on whatever it is you hold the patent on. If I did you would be back cleaning beds full time, that said is it impossable to come up with original quotes or at the very least start using some Churchill or shakespear because quoting old authors you got out of a "great quotes" book is old.

PS I really do like your lamp comentary thought.
