If a client tells his or her lawyer that a prospective lawsuit is a “slam-dunk”, there is a 1% chance the client is correct. If a lawyer tells the client the prospective lawsuit is a “slam-dunk”, the client should retain a different lawyer as soon as possible. – Stephen Verbit, Attorney

Are You Being Watched?

Which Eye is Dominant?

When sighting (with a gun for instance), you can easily determine with which eye you aim by making a circle with your thumb and finger and holding at arm’s length away from you. Then with both eyes open, look at a distant object through the circle. Without moving your hand first close one eye and then the other. Whichever eye keeps the object within the circle is your dominant eye and should be used for sighting. (Most people are right eye dominant.) – Rina

Lying

When lying, don’t explain too much. And odd numbers are more believable than even numbers. – Terry Larimore
