Well, of course he will. But that wasn't the issue, now, was it? I gave him too much credit. Turns out he doesn't have quite enough chutzpah to deny that the quotes meet the criteria he specified, so he'll find some lame way to try to slither away from the unpleasant fact that his bluff was called and he got caught dead to rights again--as he always does--such as: > express concern that Judy can't tell the > difference between herself and Rory (to > whom the request was directed), and > ignore her comments completely. What courage! What integrity! What a truly magnificent display of spiritual maturity! Almost as sophisticated as his most recent killer putdown, "Heads Up Uranus Syndrome." We're all *really* impressed, Barry. <belly laugh>
