/ Armies \
| |
| Armies are tools of violence; They |
| cause men to hate and fear. The sage |
| will not join them. His purpose is |
| creation; Their purpose is destruction. |
| Weapons are tools of violence, Not of |
| the sage; He uses them only when there |
| is no choice, And then calmly, and with |
| tact, For he finds no beauty in them. |
| Whoever finds beauty in weapons |
| Delights in the slaughter of men; And |
| who delights in slaughter Cannot |
| content himself with peace. So |
| slaughters must be mourned And conquest |
| celebrated with a funeral. |

/ FORTUNE DISCUSSES THE DIFFERENCES \
| BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN: #14 |
| |
| Low Blows: |
| |
| Let's say a man and woman are watching |
| a boxing match on TV. One of the boxers |
| is felled by a low blow. The woman says |
| "Oh, gee. That must hurt." The man |
| doubles over and actually FEELS the |
| pain. |
| |
| Dressing Up: |
| |
| A woman will dress up to go shopping, |
| water the plants, empty the garbage, |
| answer the phone, read a book, get the |
| mail. A man will dress up for: |
| weddings, funerals. Speaking of |
| weddings, when reminiscing about |
| weddings, women talk about "the |
| ceremony". Men laugh about "the |
| bachelor party". |
| |
| David Letterman: |
| |
| Men think David Letterman is the |
| funniest man on the face of the Earth. |
| Women think he is a mean, semi-dorky |
\ guy who always has a bad haircut. /

/ This is an especially good time for you \
| vacationers who plan to fly, because |
| the Reagan administration, as part of |
| the same policy under which it recently |
| sold Yellowstone National Park to Wayne |
| Newton, has "deregulated" the airline |
| industry. What this means for you, the |
| consumer, is that the airlines are no |
| longer required to follow any rules |
| whatsoever. They can show snuff movies. |
| They can charge for oxygen. They can |
| hire pilots right out of Vending |
| Machine Refill Person School. They can |
| conserve fuel by ejecting husky |
| passengers over water. They can ram |
| competing planes in mid-air. These |
| innovations have resulted in tremendous |
| cost savings which have been passed |
| along to you, the consumer, in the form |
| of flights with amazingly low fares, |
| such as $29. Of course, certain |
| restrictions do apply, the main one |
| being that all these flights take you |
| to Newark, and you must pay thousands |
| of dollars if you want to fly back out. |

/ You see, I consider that a man's brain \
| originally is like a little empty |
| attic, and you have to stock it with |
| such furniture as you choose. A fool |
| takes in all the lumber of every sort |
| he comes across, so that the knowledge |
| which might be useful to him gets |
| crowded out, or at best is jumbled up |
| with a lot of other things, so that he |
| has difficulty in laying his hands upon |
| it. Now the skilful workman is very |
| careful indeed as to what he takes into |
| his brain-attic. He will have nothing |
| but the tools which may help him in |
| doing his work, but of these he has a |
| large assortment, and all in the most |
| perfect order. It is a mistake to think |
| that that little room has elastic walls |
| and can distend to any extent. Depend |
| upon it there comes a time when for |
| every addition of knowledge you forget |
| something that you knew before. It is |
| of the highest importance, therefore, |
| not to have useless facts elbowing out |
| the useful ones. |
