I always wanted to coach against the guy who jumped up and down on the sideline and got up on the table at halftime and hollered. Put it like this: When you line up and a guy knocks the slobber out of you, you're not thinking about what the coach on the sidelines is telling you.

There are one or two elementary rules to be observed in the way of handling patients, he remarked, seating himself on the table and swinging his legs.

My mom still eats meat. I will encourage her when it's appropriate to not eat meat. In fact, when we sit down at a table to eat, I don't hesitate to tell her how gross eating meat seems just as often as she nags me about my driving when we are in a car together.
