We have a quote of the day daily on our Intranet.


I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.

Mark Twain

When I was a kid my dad would say to me, if it was raining heavily:

'It's like a tall cow pissing on a flat rock out there'.

I would crack up every time.
