The Profit Prophet

I have been reading a lot of articles of late about relationships and seeing some that put men into groups without understanding that men are NOT all alike.  By lumping all men together, the concept of being a gentleman does not come into play. Women, and people in general, have to realize that there are men of character, culture and grace, and then there are boys.  Boys are men who have chosen not to grow up and become wise in the ways of civility, charm, and substance. This post highlights the differences between men and boys.  Ladies, which are you dating? Men, whom are you? Men: See women as the fairer, not weaker, sex Boys: See women as weak and just for sex Men: Realize that to be a leader, you need to be a servant Boys: Only want to be seen as a leader to get the recognition Men: Hold doors, and rise when a woman enters a room or comes to the table, knows how to be a gentleman Boys: Have no idea what those concepts are nor why you should do it for wom...

Of course it is the end of yet another year. The sun still shines in the sky, the Earth still circles it and life goes on, but would it not be nice to know some fun facts about this beautiful blue planet we live on?

World's least populated city: Vatican City With a paltry population of 842, the city-state of Vatican City is the smallest city...

This is a tale of what people throw away...sometimes in business we miss the really important things, like making our customers happy, or selling what you believe, not just for profits. Enjoy this tale of caution.... A Jewish woman says to her mother, "I'm divorcing Jeff! All he wants is sex, and my vagina is now the size of a 50 cent piece when it used to be about the size of a 5 cent piece." Her mother says, "You're married to a multimillionaire businessman, you live in an 8 bedroom mansion, you drive a Ferrari, you get $2,000 a week allowance, you take 6 vacations a year and you want to throw all that away over 45 cents?"

OK everyone, get your minds OUT OF THE GUTTER, on second thought, no just keep wallowing there. I am doing something different for my Fryday post, and sending videos but I cannot since they are too BIG. Yes, today IS Fryday the 13th and I thought I should do something special. OMGolly, yes, I am getting hip, and doing video. Ooooh!  Two commercials, one from Dodge, one from Mercedes that involve sexual innuendo. Both are pretty funny but for TOTALLY different reasons. The Dodge one uses reverse stereotypes and the Mercedes one, well, is just so European. I hope, no, I know these will make you chuckle. If you want to view them, click here. Enjoy, and happy, um, motoring? I goes to show the power of humor in marketing your message and allow potentially new customers to begin the engagement process. Mercedes Winter Mine is 7" Bigger

The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, 'It looks like you have seen a lot of action.' 'Yes, ma'am, a lot of action.'

Finally the young lady said, 'You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had sex?' '1955, ma'am.' 'Well, there you are. No wonder you're so serious. You really need ...
