A FRAGMENTED PERSONALITY HAS ITS GOOD POINTS
by MAUREEN

1. You are never alone.
2. You always have someone to talk to.
3. When you get in a discussion with someone, you always win because the majority rules.
4. When people say, "Y'all come back now," they mean it.
5. "Pull yourself together, man" takes on new meaning.
6. "The more the merrier" makes one stop and think.
7. You already know how to speak in front of groups.
8. Crowd control comes naturally.
9. You can take your selves on vacation at no additional charge and have a party.
10. Sometimes you can get group rates.
