Cuvs member (n the swimming pool): "Stevens, can you float alone?"

Stumps Wanted Here is a gruesome (or not?) cricket stony. In a cricket match against a neighbouring village one of the batsmen had the misfortune to receive a ball full in the mouth, breaking a number of teeth, When the return match was played he found himself confronted by the same bowler.
"I say," he shouted, "don't go after my teeth again, will you?"
The bowler grinned.
"No," he called back. "I want your stumps this time."
"Musts" in Advertising You must make people see it. You must make people read it. You must make people understand it. You must make people believe it. You must make people want it.
If readers do not see it, you have wasted your time and money. If they do not read it you have wasted it. If they do not understand it, and if they do not want it, and if they do not believe it—if any of these five things happen—you have made a failure.
