Don't forget this is the Funny Farm Lounge so the usual rules do not apply. There is also a policy to not reply to some posters because once you do they'll turn it into a badminton match. If this (a badminton match) happened in court I'm sure the judge would shut it down. Some of the patients here probably need their meds upped though. :-D
