business, the written word is, well, everywhere. Here is a look
at some mostly useless, but interesting, tidbits about word-
related items.   * It's better to be safe than sorry ... Nothing
ventured, nothing gained.  * Don't judge a book by its cover ...
Clothes make the man.  * Never put off till tomorrow what you
can do today ... Don't cross that bridge until you come to it.
* Absence makes the heart grow fonder ... Out of sight, out of
mind.  * You are never too old to learn ... You can't teach an
old dog new tricks.  * Two heads are better than one ... Paddle
your own canoe.  * Many hands make light work ... Too many cooks
spoil the broth.  * Haste makes waste ... Time waits for no man.
* The two longest words that can be typed using only the left
hand are stewardesses and reverberated.  * Lollipop is the
longest word that can be typed using only the right hand.  *
Skepticisms is the longest word that can be typed using
alternate hands.  *
