         a) The advisor has an implant expert on retainer, and   come up yet. We know everyone deals with this and we

      answer. The most obvious suggestion was to say you were   people who hog the armrest in between seats on a plane   in Southwinds, Meridiana, La Paz, and has a seasonal

      many phone numbers as you can, and turn this into a social
      event. Our research indicates 74% of the women are most
      likely single.
         c) Another suggestion was to just try to get the implant
      that was free. We saw your photo and you could use some
      upper body help.
         d) The last choice would be to find a dentist that does

         2. A family member is a religious scholar who has
      lectured around the world and is one of the leading experts
      in this field. He swears (he actually never swears) that one of
      the greatest religious fallacies is The Ten Commandments.
      He claims there are actually 11 commandments but has
      faced skepticism whenever he has shared his research. He
      claims the 11th Commandment is “THOU SHALT NOT
      COVET THY NEIGHBOR’S DOG.” Can The Advisor
      help me on this as talking about religion is always a very
      sensitive subject.
         a) We happen to have a religious scholar on staff, and
      he is quite intrigued by this as he knows that no dogs were
      on Noah’s Ark and believes this is not a coincidence.
         b) Another thought that might give this theory credence
      is God spelled backwards is DOG.
         c) After further independent research, The Advisor
      thinks your friend is delusional and should seek medical
      help immediately.
         d) Religion is usually a subject we avoid. Like politics,
      it could be very divisive. But we were wondering if your

      I know many other people who have the same problem.
