Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Dave, Quite right. Garner was the Beef Industry spokesman, then had a triple by-pass. Stopped him smoking, but didn't make him stop eating meat. He was fired, however, as spokesman, and Sam Elliott the cowboy was hired. " Beef, it's what's fer dinner. " Yeah, right. Reminds me of the Marlboro Man sure enough dying of lung cancer. So no, heart attacks and by-passes don't always work to wake people up. Nothing wakes some of them, while others don't need the warnings.

Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we can do for creative men and women is to stand out of their light. --John W.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Yes, but my goodness they couldn't have picked a sexier man for the job!! Sam Elliott's voice alone makes my knees weak. He can talk all he wants about beef;) Warmly, Allison > " Beef, it's what's fer dinner. " > Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.
