A HUMOROUS EXCHANGE WITH AN UNDERSTANDING FRIEND

Dear Readers:

Laughter, and a humorous exchange with associates and colleagues makes for deeper bonding, greater communication and a lighter spirit. Never forget that people do not make business decisions logically -- they tend to want to do business with people they like, and whose company they enjoy. Don't try to be funny if you're not -- that is not the point. The point is that showing your human and non-business side might just be the catalyst that (paradoxically) swings a decision in your favor.

Let your personality come through. Be who you are. Differentiate yourself from all of the other "poured out of the mold" persons.

Being you might just prove to be your greatest strength.

Respectfully,

Douglas Castle

Gabriel:

No I am not. By the way, your great aunt says "Hello". The afterlife is miserable -- they ran out of harps, so I am carrying around an accordion. Fortunately, a chiropractor met his demise two days ago and will work on me as soon as they are finished processing him (an immigration issue, I think) through Upland Security - They have J.Edgar Hoover heading it up. You have to see him in a dress and hosiery...he's seems nicer than I would have thought. Did you know that he's an excellent "charades" player?

I shall indeed call (despite the long distance charge) so that we may get together. I get a furlough every few weeks, although there's always some crap involved about my having to save someone's life and do good deeds and so forth. Man, it never ends...

Oh...hey...gotta go. I'm jamming with George Harrison, Benny Goodman and Luther Van Dross in fifteen minutes.

In friendship and posthumously,

Douglas Castle

p.s. Gregory Hines is teaching me to tapdance!

p.p.s. Also, some guy (Milt?) from your undergraduate school says that I should remind you that you still owe him five dollars. He's in heaven, so he can't charge you any interest. It's against the rules.
