Flattery will get you everywhere -- and now you can pay for it

If you're reading this, you are obviously a person of higher level thinking, creativity, humor and possessing of a rare charisma that draws people to you like bees to honey. Bottom line, you rock -- and you're good-looking too! You've got the goods baby, the whole enchilada and I mean that in a good way!

Okay, that one was a freebie. From now on, I'll be charging readers $5 per compliment, sort of like the new service, Flatter Me out of Montreal, Canada. From 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday, with weekends reserved for special-occasion calling, Flatter Me will deliver meaningful messages of motivation, cheer, love, appreciation or apology for the low, low price of $5 (U.S.) to the cell phone or landline of your choice (unless you order the package deal for $10, a -- bargain, eh?).
