    This I read in a British Airways ad long back:

    Children walk to school. They run home.

    There cannot be a sadder commentary on our education system.

    A long time ago, when I was a school student, I found this message inside a chewing gum wrapper:
    Never mind if the other person is not a gentleman, show curtsey to others because you are one.
