This World Is So Cold And Cruel...That... Sometimes...Your Smile...Has To Be...'Slick...And ...Tricky'...Just To Survive!...Part 2.





"You have to be careful

in This World...

People will try and

Fool you,

and take what's Yours

and

Take Advantage of You!


I'm telling you...

don't


let Them Do that to You!




I mean...some of These People

want to



'Take Your Head Off!"






Word Up!...

...There are Folks out there

that are So Greedy for

what is



Your Stuff!










Some People are


"Out On The Prowl'...

...to get that


'Big Pay Day!'...Courtesy of You!








Watch out for People volunteering,

"I'd Love to Drive You to

The Bank to



pick up your first

Mega Millions Check!










"Shoot!...

At first,

She talked Me into Hating Him!...

And now...


It's just Me...alone!"








And you have to be

careful about

who



you let into

your Home!...

..."Let Me see...

...is there any


'Money under the Mattress!'"


And when You get back Home...

"Honey!...

what happened to the



Money under the Mattress?"











"Don't You Ever

ask Me



Out on a Date Again!




Oh Yes!...

And 'Watch Out'

for Knives!


Psychologists say that

The Stabber

really 'Gets Off!'





But,

adding 

Sarcasm

may or may not



'Blunt the Pain!




And since when

do you

have to



'Turn the Other Chest?'




Watch Out!...

Pay Back



Is A Dog!










"If you give me $10.000 today, I'll



give you Twenty Thousand,

Next Week, Okay?"...



..."My Family Member really needs that Operation!

...Okay...

I'll



Do It!"








"That Guy snatched My Purse,

and he ran across the Street, and

a car



smacked His _____  So Good!







"How dare you say

that about my

Boyfriend!...

Them's



'Fighting Words!'"






"I know that You're a Millionaire!...

So What!...



I still Love Your...I mean You!"






Okay...As soon as she leaves,  that's

when



I'll go In!






Now,

This next 'Potential Mark'

is going



to

Fight Fire


with Fire...

and

'Throw Back'

a Slick and Tricky Smile...

right back at him!



Just watch!...




"Sir, I have some land

that I can sell to you

for just



$5,000 down!...Right Now!"



"That sounds good...

I'm going to the bank

to get it,

and then I'll



be Right Back!"...(Not!)



















"I'm going on

an



Overseas Business Trip for One Month!...

...And I just asked My Best



Friend here to take the My Kids to school

and watch the House!...

But

I just don't Trust Her

with My Husband!...


On second thought...

I'm going to



Rescind the Offer!"









"You can Bet that

The Moment that  _________  leaves

I'm



Going to..."





"Hey, Ol' Buddy, Ol' Pal!...

...Can I use your



Brand New

Lamborghini


to drop off some packages?"




"Really?...

Let me see,

...it does need to be

driven fast

to clean out the

Carburator!...

...I'll see if I

can

Find the Keys!"...



...(Not!)...





"You can trust Me...

just ask



my Friends!"



But one 'Friend'

says...



'Oh Boy!'




"What!...You found some

Buried Treasure there?

Sure!...

I'll



Keep it a Secret!"





"Now where does he



'Keep His Stash?"







Some Things are

Accidents


And 

Other Things

are


Intentional!







"Aww, Man,



Someone 

Broke into

The Warehouse

and Stole all of Our Stock!"


"Hey...You're


Joshin' Me, right?"






"No Man...



I'm Not!"





"He can go!...

I never really



Loved Him Anyway!"






"Wait!...

What are they



Talking about in there?"






"This is Pay Back...

...for...



Elementary School!"





"You say that there was

100 Dollars in there?...

Well...



I only saw Ten!"





"You just met Me...and...

You want Me

To go to Switzerland

With You?...

Well...



...Okay!"





"My Car just Broke Down...

...How am I




ever going to

make it to

the Bank to

drop off This Cash

in Time?"





"Lady!...

I'd be


'Glad To Help You!"




"Woman...Your Problem is that

you're


giving up

too information 

to people

You don't even know!

Use Caution 

and

Think a little Deeper, Okay!"




"You just think You're



Somebody Special,

Don't You!"





"No, I didn't take it!....


What makes you think that


I Took It?"





"Yes...

A lot of those Swindlers 

are


going to get

Their

'Just

and


Hot...Desserts!'"










Believe Me!...

Sometimes You

have to tell 'Those People'

how You Feel

in


'Plain, In-Your-Face English!


















However,

when you find

someone that

You can see

Eye to Eye with


...Great!



















"So Love Yourself...

...like I Love Myself!

...and 'Be Safe' Out There

in that

'Cold and Cruel World!'...

Oh!...and I'm off

to



My Appointments!...

...So...

...On The Further...Sweets!..."










..."Hi, Dr. Report...

You want to know


what I did in France

Last Week?...

Okay...

Well, first...


Blah blah blah"...







..."I'm

So Happy

that

I am Alive Today!


...And that I can 

Walk and Talk

and 

All of the Rest!


I really feel Super!


But This World

is not 

all around,

a Happy Place!


I think I'll 



help Someone

have a Better Day!"...





..."Forget about what

happened Last Time!...

This Time...



We come in Peace!"...
