**Nobody is normal.
**At least once per year, some group of scientists will become very excited and announce that:
> The universe is even bigger and/or older than they thought!
> There are even more subatomic particles than they thought!
> Whatever they announced last year about global warming is wrong.
**The value of advertising is that it tells you the exact opposite of what the advertiser actually thinks. For example:
>If the advertisement says "This is not your father's Oldsmobile," the advertiser is desperately concerned that this Oldsmobile, like all other Oldsmobile’s, appeals primarily to old folks like your father.
>If Coke and Pepsi spend billions of dollars to convince you that there are significant differences between these two products, both companies realize that Pepsi and Coke are virtually identical.
>If the advertisement strongly suggests that Nike shoes enable athletes to perform amazing feats, Nike wants you to disregard the fact that shoe brand is unrelated to athletic ability.
**If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and He decides to deliver a message to humanity, He will not use, as His messenger, a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle.
**You should not confuse your career with your life.
**A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
**Your friends love you anyway.
