MOUTHPIECE - December 8, 2015

Good Afternoon,

They say that you learn quite a bit from the people around you. Your parents, friends, co-workers, siblings, teachers, and I'm going to stop there to save time. I have learned a lot from many of those people that I listed, but the one I've learned the most from has been... a snowman.

Every winter a snowman informs me of several key life-lessons that have help to mold me into the man I am today.

Here's a prime example of his wisdom: Avoid yellow snow.

Now that's good advice. Take a look below and discover all you'll ever need to know thanks to a snowman.

And just in case you were wondering, I'm NOT crazy.

Mouthing Off,
Carl
