Does that count? Dave ruefully sits down in the middle of Liberty Northwest on an old wooden chair painted a lurid red color, and putting his head in his hands, sobs, "I could'a been a contendah...". > My apologies. Maybe next time I'll just say something like: > "Dude, your head is so far up your @ss you think the echoes coming back > to you are other people's voices" > Better? :^D Thanks in part to the "dumbing down of America", 93.6% of the people would understand precisely what this implies, but even with that forceful, plain statement, there would still be a pitiful 6.3% of the American population still trying desperately to buy, find or otherwise steal a clue as to what it meant. Of course, this statement, once understood, would induce mass sputtering, which is a disease known far and wide for its catastrophic effects on public speech. Thus there is a possibility, however finite, that you might reduce us all to verbal chaos. > I am glad someone saw the humor in it though. :) Yes, I plead guilty to having nearly choked on my coffee, at the time. I also plead guilty for the crime of nudging the thread every once in awhile to see if all possible humor has been fully and adequately explored to its logical ends. In these strange days one can never have too much humor, IMHO. 8) Dave -- Dave Laird ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) The Used Kharma Lot Web Page: http://www.kharma.net updated 11/24/2004 Usenet news server : news://news.kharma.net Fortune Random Thought For the Minute Entropy isn't what it used to be. _______________________________________________ Libnw mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] List info and subscriber options: http://immosys.com/mailman/listinfo/libnw Archives: http://immosys.com/mailman//pipermail/libnw
