Quotes
A fanatic is one who will not change his mind and will not change the subject. ~Sir Winston Churchill
(Trivia: Winston Churchill was born in a ladies-room at a dance.)

Personal Hygiene
Unlike clothes and shoes, a toothbrush should never be a hand-me-down item.
Plucking unwanted nose hair is a time-consuming job. A cigarette lighter and a small tolerance for pain can accomplish the same goal and save tedious time.
Proper use of toiletries can be used to postpone bathing for several weeks.
Dirt and grease under fingernails alter the tastes of finger foods and tend to detract from a woman's jewelry.
Toenail clippings should be scooped into a neat pile and stored for later pick-up.

Words to the Wise
Always say, "Excuse me," after getting sick in someone else's car.
Never take a beer to a job interview or ask if they press charges.

Women skiers
Could (or should) teammates be rivals? Possibly two women from Vail, Colorado will vie for the Overall World Cup Championship this season. Tina Maze of Slovenia and Anna Fenninger of Austria are not racing this year. That leaves Lindsey Vonn as the favorite and Mikaela Shiffrin as a possible challenger. Shiffrin has added Super G to her list of events, which will give her more opportunities to earn overall points. Lindsey Vonn competes in the Super G and Downhill "speed" events.
Shiffrin said, "It is in the back of my mind, honestly. If I ski really well in the GS and the Slalom this year and I get some World Cup points in the Super G, I think the overall is within my reach. Lindsey is a huge favorite."
