1. You have the right to remain silent. (So shut the ____ up!!!!! Ahem! After all you can fly coast to coast for $139!)
2. You have the right to huddle up close for warmth. (Why do you think we crowd you in there like sardines? Moron!)
3. You have the right to criticize us in the media! (Of course you seem to know that one already! Don't ya?)
4. You have the right to blame us for the nasty snowy weather while being safe and warm in one of our airplanes. (Don't ask me why, but you do!)

9. You have the right to be comfortable. (So give each other back rubs! Make a new friend!)
10. You have the right to pray (and you better start right now, Bub)
North of 40: The Hard Sell
by Red Green
If any of you own your own business, manage a store, or engage in any commercial activity, I have a suggestion for you. You need to identify any of your customers who are middle-aged men and assign only your best salespeople to them. It is very hard to sell anything to a middle-aged man, unless it floats or rolls. The problem is that by this age they've made so many idiotic purchases that they've run out room for error -- especially if they're married. They've already bought the 8-track home entertainment system with the psychedelic color organ, the February time-share in Baffin Island and the amphibious car.
They've already experienced that things don't work as well as expected, particularly when you don't read the manual, and that no matter how softly you hit something with a hammer, the store probably won't give you a refund. If you're interested in selling something to a middle-aged guy, put not only your best, but also your oldest salesman on the case. When a middle-aged guy is confronted with a senior citizen who still has most of his fingers and can form a sentence, he immediately starts feeling better. And, if the old guy can tell him stories about the stupid things he's bought in his life, the middle-aged guy gets absolutely buoyant. He realizes that you can continue to make the kinds of mistakes he's been making and still manage to reach old age. Now he's optimistic and that's how all his troubles started in the first place. He's putty in your hands. That is, until he gets home, where he'll be in his wife's hands -- and in something much more serious than putty.
