> Today I received the second business cards I have ever had in my life. The first lot of business cards I had were organised for me when I became art director of the magazine I worked at; they had 500 cards printed and I think I managed to hand out three of them in all the years I worked there. Assuming I go through these ones at the same rate, I will need to stay with this company for the next three hundred and forty years to get rid of the whole box.

I'm finally in a job where my business cards come in handy. I give them out to students so they can contact me if they have questions about applying to the University. Some of them have actually used them but the rate of return is not very high. I'm still waiting to win that free lunch. I did get a free lunch out of my boss winning one from a business card drawing, though.

Once, a gentleman approached me at a job I had in college and asked, "Would you like my card."

"Sure," I said. All that was printed on it was, "My Card." I still have it.

Fer"I bet that gentleman was Howard"rick
