1. Turn off your Shy Button. Shrinking

violets bloom unseen.

2. No need to despair if your hourglass

figure has gained half an hour. It’s never

too late to lose weight.

3. The only thing you get from sitting

around waiting for romance to happen

is creases in your skirt.

4. When it comes to choosing women,

men are as shallow as your bathtub.

5. If you don’t like what you see in the

mirror, don’t break the mirror.

6. Your cup isn’t half-empty. It’s just

waiting to be filled. Start pouring!

7. Most men are as attracted to cleavage

as toddlers are to electric sockets and

peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

8. Smile. Smile. Smile. “Why do we love

babies? Their wonderful smiles make up

for what’s in their diapers.”

9. Make a habit of going to bed with comfort

food, and the only thing you’ll find

beside you when you wake up in the

morning is a bunch of crumbs.

10. It’s better to eat breakfast with the

morning paper than with the

wrong man.
