Gus was thrilled to hear that a new car wash was opening up in his neighborhood.
"How convenient," he said, "I can walk to it."

I had forgotten to buy a bottle of wine to take to a dinner party.
I called my neighbor to see if he could let me have one of his,
which I'd replace.
He wasn't home, but since we have each other's house keys,
I let myself in and chose an attractive bottle from his wine rack.
The host and guests praised my choice of wine,
and I managed to remove the label from the bottle before we left the party.
My local liquor store didn't have that particular wine, but they referred me to another,
more exclusive, store, which was delighted to sell me the replacement bottle...
for $98!
When I presented the bottle to my neighbor,
I thanked him and praised his fine taste in wine.
He proudly told me the bottle I had replaced contained homemade wine.
He had got the bottle from a recycling bin.

Back when I was working , I often grabbed lunch at a Chinese restaurant.
I'll never forget a bit of wisdom from a fortune cookie I received one day:
"In case of fire, keep calm, pay bill, then run!"
