IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING
Look at that!

ELEVATOR PITCH
Another floor another story.

THIS WILL NOT BE ON THE QUIZ
but everything is on the test.

AT THE PAIN CLINIC WAITING ROOM
it always takes forever.

IDENTITY THEFT VICTIMS
often don’t know who they are.

IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW    
when we danced to "Together Again.”

WALMART WITHOUT YOU
even the specials don’t seem so.

NOTHING IS ENOUGH
if it’s just what you asked for

THE MEANING OF LIFE?
More life, next question?

ANYTHING CAN BE
an answer to a prayer.

ONE DAY YOU WILL DIE.
Most days you won’t.
