Friday: Gala Dinner / Three rules

The gala dinner allowed for topic-free (and even sense-free) discussion and so it's no surprise that we came up with some brilliant ideas worthwile to share with you:

1. Three rules of library marketing (brought to us by the famous V&A sisters from Shefield)

1. Doctors: Make them think your'e an important person.
   
2. Nurses: Make them think you're a nurse like them. (see also commentary)
   
3. Students: Make them think you have a lot of give-aways. (but don't give them your cell phone number)
   

2. Three rules for music at a gala dinner (brought to us by a famous German dancer)

1. If you want to empty the dance floor, play three slow love songs in a row.
   
2. If you play (or pretend to play) traditional finnish songs, make a bid for the farewell ceremony.
   
3. If you want to make it a success, play sirtaki at the end.

3. Three rules to make friends among Finnish people
(brought to us anonymously)

1. People are different. Don't generalize. Not every Finn descends from the mongolian (even if he looks like).
   
2. Each Finn is 75% extroverted and 25% introverted. Check his mood before any conversation. Dancing should be handeld even more carefully.
   
3. Finns like to laugh a lot, so: If you are not that smart guy you pretend to be, learn some jokes by heart in advance.
   

If you have some 3-rules too, please don't hesitate to write them as a comment, I will add them.
