S
eventy percent of the Earth's surface is taken
up by bodies of water. That leaves
30 percent that is land. (Are you still
following this intricate math?) So why is it
that we are so taken up with references to
things that relate to dirt?
If you wish to make it in the business world,
you have to expect to get your hands dirty;
little is accomplished without expenditure of
energy. We also have heard of some jobs that
"It's dirty work, but someone has to do it." If
you are on the job, realize that time cannot be
wasted by dishing the dirt; it's also unprofes-
sional.
Be sure that in your dealings with others
that you do not "do someone dirty" by treating
them unfairly.
Should you be in a large crowd and someone yells, "Hit
the dirt!" do not hesitate to do so. Better safe than sorry.
To even consider that someone would utter this as a prac-

tical joke makes it a dirty shame. It would be considered
a truly dirty trick; someone is playing dirty (or
playing dirty pool, if you prefer).
Though we all have sought sympathy at one
time or another, we should avoid airing our dirty
laundry in public; that could be embarrassing.
It is usually a good idea to avoid telling a dirty
joke; when uttered, it could elicit a dirty look.
One of the worst reputations a sportsman
could get in the boxing world is that of a dirty
fighter. Yet we have heard of some who have
taken bribes to throw a fight: dirty money.
Among our many fears today in international
relations it that someone will develop and use a
dirty bomb. With the rise of terrorism, this has
been an ever-present threat.
Well, not to end on a dark note, let me urge you to get
yourself a drink ("Here's mud in your eye!"); stay out of
politics if you cannot handle mud slinging; and always try
to be down-to-Earth.
