That off hand remark, might be a greeting or in fact a question. I said that to a new acquaintance one morning. Without giving it any thought he replied, "It takes a big dog to weigh a ton." My first impression was, that's weird, but as time went on I found that new acquaintance had become one of my best and most treasured friends. When we are talking his remarks come from deep thought even when spontaneous, but what's more impressive is he takes time to listen. When I think of that friend that is what I know.
