What is print but a series of follies
The difficulty is most printers are unwilling to accept them as follies
Which is why they keep repeating them
There is something that holds all print together
It's a dot, dot, dot ...
Please do take care of the customer you like
Or else you will end up having to like the customer you work for

There are two types of printers.
Those who have got the brains and talent to go as far as they want.
And those who borrow money!
