Motto of the Month: August 2010

Dear Member,

Standing around waiting for a bequest of a Better Motto has never been a favorite pastime for the Selection Committee, so when President-Select Bob Englert slid his suggestion under the door wrapped in blue cover paper, the committee looked no further and chose, as the motto of the month:

WHERE THERE'S A WILL
I want to be in it

When our official parade horse, Joe, heard of the selection he immediately snorted "Neigh, Neigh," his sign of approval ever since he learned that two negatives make a positive. Joe's affirmation means the parade will be a long one so wear your sneakers. It will start on the seventh at seven at Bob Englert's office and end some time later at Ye Olde Fishing Hole.

Doctors bury their mistakes; Architects plant vines.

The Association' s Committee on Progress tell us that: Television was better when it was Radio; Computers have improved personal accuracy - they make lots of mistakes that are nobody's fault; and, You have to avoid temptation when you're young because later on it avoids you.

Consultants are mystical people who ask you for data and then give it back to you all gussied up.

Mottoes received but ignored by the judges in their rush for the door include: "IF YOU MET MY FAMILY, you would understand ...," from your secretary; "LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE, but cash is a fine second choice," from Jason Right; and, "IT' S NOT EASY PRETENDING to work this hard all day long," from Mike Kartsonis.

Genetic engineering is the splice of life.

Cordially,
John Belzer
Secretary
The Let's Have Better Mottoes Association, Inc.
