Assertiveness isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Go with Passive Agressiveness training.

Then you can move mountains and still deny it.

Mel:

Why does a request for a little more assertiveness <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> end up as a discussion of Aquanet? Can't you ever stay on topic???? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

LG>>>>

Running for cover, as he knows that Aquanet and a lighter can be devastating...

""We can bump you up to the ten pounders. Just be aware that they tend to drag the ground a tad.""

I cannot believe that ~my name~ was even mentioned in the same sentence as "MelodyLane"
