Someone far smarter than us (probably a scientist) once said, “For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.” In practical terms, this means if you eat ten pounds of fudge, you gain ten pounds where you need it least.

They say laughter is the best medicine. Not sure if that beats homeopathy – but what we do know is that laughter makes the message stick, for sure.  That’s the principle on which our company is founded.
