First, something to think about:

        For the men: Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. 
        Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

For the ladies: “A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature 
        to stop speech when words become superfluous.” 
        —Ingrid Bergman (and we all thought she was just an actress)
