Searching in my library for two books by communications expert Deborah Tannen turned into an Abbott and Costello routine. "What's the first book?" the librarian asked.
"That's Not What I Meant," I said.
"Well, what did you mean?"
"That's the title of the book," I explained.
"Okay." She looked at me a little skeptically. "And the other book?"
"You Just Don't Understand."
"Excuse me?"
I got both books. Eventually.

"I put a cheerful countenance on people every day." It was submitted by our local funeral director.
