MAYBE YOU DON'T KNOW...
A politician is in a restaurant and the waiter brings over the rolls,
but no butter. "May I have some butter, please?" The waiter gives a
slight nod and wanders off.
Ten minutes later, still no butter. The politician catches the waiter's
eye, "May I have some butter, please?" Still the vaguest of responses, and after ten more minutes, still no butter.
"Maybe you don't know who I am," says the politician. "I'm a
Princeton graduate, a Rhodes scholar, an All-American basketball
player who played with the New York Knicks in the pros, and I'm
currently a United States Senator, chairman of the International
Debt Subcommittee of the Senate Finance Committee, chairman of
the Water and Power Subcommittee of the Senate Energy and
Natural Resources Committee, and a member of the Senate Select
Intelligence Committee."
"Maybe you don't know who I am," said the waiter. "I'm the guy
who's in charge of the butter."
OBNOXIOUS GUEST
At a dinner party, one of the guests, an obnoxiously loud young
man, tried to make clever remarks about everyone and everything.
He was served a piece of meat, and as he picked it up with his fork,
he held it up and smirked, "Is this pig?"
Another guest, sitting opposite, asked quietly, "To which end of the
fork are you referring?"

TIPS FOR ENTERTAINING
1. When one hosts a dinner party, it is essential that all the place
mats match, or, at the very least, that they all come from the same
fast-food restaurant.
2. Entertaining in your backyard? The key to a nice-looking lawn

is a good mower. I recommend one who's muscular and shirtless.

3. My favorite party game is "Pin the Cleanup on the Guests."

into new containers before having guests over.
5. A good host must always be a STICKLER for attractive food
“The way you get meaning into your life is
to devote yourself to loving others, devote presentation! I always take the foil COMPLETELY off the TV
yourself to your community around you, and dinner before serving.
devote yourself to creating something that 6. Getting your home in tiptop shape for a party can be fun if you
think of it as kicking dust bunny butt!
gives you purpose and meaning.”
~Mitch Albom~
7. Take short cuts! I used to offer my guests instant coffee. They
kept whining for hot water to go with it.
8. The best way to prepare a roast is to make an aluminum foil tent
over your roasting pan. Similarly, the best way to prepare for relatives is to pitch a tent in the backyard and stay there until they
leave.
9. When decorating for a party, be creative with regular household
items. Some people might just see a moldy shower curtain with
torn eyelets. What do I see? A new tablecloth.
10. The better you cook, the more likely your
guests will return. Which is why I'm not usually too
hot in the kitchen.

NEW YEAR'S RECIPE
Take twelve, fine, full-grown months, see that these are thoroughly free from all old memories of bitterness, rancor, hate and
jealousy; cleanse them completely from every clinging spite: pick off all specks of pettiness and littleness; in short , see that
these months are freed from all the past; have them as fresh and clean as when they first came from the great storehouse of
Time.
Cut these months into thirty or thirty-one equal parts. This batch will keep for just one year. Do not attempt to make up the
whole batch at one time (so many persons spoil the entire lot in this way), but prepare one day at a time, as follows:
Into each day put twelve parts of faith, eleven of patience, ten of courage, nine of of work (some people omit this ingredient
and so spoil the flavor of the rest), eight of hope, seven of fidelity, six of liberality, five of kindness, four of rest (leaving this
out is like leaving the oil out of the salad, don't do it), three of prayer, two of meditation, and one well selected resolution. If
you have no conscientious scruples, put in about a teaspoonful of good spirits, a dash of fun, a pinch of folly, a sprinkling of
play, and a heaping cupful of good humor.
Pour into the whole love ad libitum and mix with a vim. Cook thoroughly in a fervent heat; garnish with a few smiles and a
sprig of joy; then serve with quietness, unselfishness, and cheerfulness, and a Happy New Year is certain.
