That's a funny cartoon, Corbin. Speaking of which, I just saw a good one in The New Yorker: 

Doctor walks in, sees his (middle-aged male) patient sitting there in a hospital gown. Doctor says:

"So what's with the paper dress?"

Sadly, Soul Builder, I have no close friends.

Only bitter enemies.

But how do you know, A + B? Until you take it, and try to walk out, and then feel the resistance?

Of course, then again, OneBetty, sometimes the stuff you already know is bad turns out to be even worse than you thought.

So you really can't win, actually.

Depends on the someone giving! A close friend counts for more!

Take only good things without strings attached.

Yes, go ahead take it but watch out for any strings that may be attached to it.

Great thought to ponder.  The scary thing is that sometimes, the too good to be true ends of being too bad to be true

Hey! You know what? Magazines should hire you to write
their daily horoscopes. You are a natural!
