In other words, I want you to start the day in a great mood!


I'm always in a good mood. Hey...this summer, stay in touch when you
take that boat out on the Bay and run into some really hard chop or a
bad wake. You'll be able to add no more boating to your no more golf.
Well, I suppose you could take up knitting.

This thread reminds me of a situation provided by lord Benjamin
Disraeli:

Once at a social gathering, Gladstone said to Disraeli: 'I predict,
Sir, that you will die either by hanging or of some vile disease'.

Disraeli replied, 'That all depends, sir, upon whether I embrace your
principles or your mistress.'
