Hey all, quick question. Are my voices offending you in any way, shape, or forum? /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif If my signature is offensive to some, does that mean we can no longer use the words, crazy, nuts, whack-o, or whack-job?
Would any of you be offended if I used this as my signature? Sarcasm, Just One More Service I Offer! /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif
Hey Trailscout, you may be off the hook now. /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif
Remember this if Off Topic Fun Stuff....so go ahead and have fun! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I love the voices. I live alone and the voices keep me company. Of course, I still have to do all the cleaning and cooking but the voices don't make too many messes and they don't eat much so I guess it's OK.
just as long as your voices don't call my voices nasty names we will do ok....

This whole voice thing reminds me of a high school classmate who would pretend he was possessed just for kicks. He heard voices, swatted at invisible demons -- it was hilarious. He even had a bumper sticker that said "I do what the voices tell me to." /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Outdoorbare,
Friend, I'm sorry. In the future you could please help me by telling me the solution to this particular computer IMG problem. When I try to follow my instruction book, the magic does not materialize as I hope, because I do something wrong.
Please don't read this if you are offended by jokes! /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
With all the heated discussions in the other threads, I thought I'd post another joke in my own thread. No offense intended to believers and non-believers alike! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was facinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it closely. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages.
"Momma, look what I found," the boy called out.
"What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I think it's Adam's suit!"

You keep me coming back to these boards! Sometimes some of these threads get to far out into left field for us. You always have a sense of humor and are able to laugh at yourself. Something some people have lost the ability to do.
You keep doing what you do best on these boards, making us laugh.

To my knowlage, the term "cheesehead" was started by the late Mike Royko, then writing for the Chicago Sun-Times as a derogatory remark about Wisconsinites in general. ( Royko is also credited with being the first to refer to former CA Gov Jerry Brown as "Gov. Moonbeam")
Headcheese, on the other hand is actually a jellied sausage, generally made from pig's tounge,heart and "other edible parts of the head". I have never tasted it nor do I care to.

No, I've never seen a horse fly. I've seen lots of horses, but they all just walked, trotted, or galloped.

Head cheese is delicious. Also caused "souse meat" it is great sliced and made into sandwiches or just eaten by the slice.
Some recipes put red pepper in it for a little extra tang.
It's a southern thing, y'all!

Maybe it's because you have to be "soused" to eat it. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
There was a man who really took care of his body. He lifted weights and jogged 8 miles a day. One day, he took a look in the mirror and
noticed that he was tanned all over except his "thingie".
So he decided to do something about it. He went to the beach, completely undressed himself and buried himself in the sand, except for his
"thingie" which he left sticking up. Two old ladies were strolling along the beach, one
using a cane. Upon seeing the "thingie" sticking up over the sand, she began to move it around with her cane, remarking to the other lady,
"There's no justice in the world". The other lady asked what she meant.
She said, when I was 20, I was curious about it.
When I was 30, I enjoyed it.
When I was 40, I asked for it.
When I was 50, I paid for it.
When I was 60, I prayed for it.
When I was 70, I forgot about it.
Now that I am 80, the damn things are growing wild on the beach and I'm too old to squat! /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

HW,
Just because Southern folks will sometimes include a wide variety of game on their menu does not mean that we will eat meat that is not fresh. Unless he has fallen on hard times, a true Southern sportsman will not eat what has died by another's hand.
Besides, why eat a road-kill squirrel when you can use it as bait to catch a much larger tasty 'possum?
Of course bigger is not always better. I don't know too many folks who like bear meat, but I don't know anyone who would turn his nose up at a fat young groundhog, roasted over a bed of coals.

You say: "a true Southern sportsman will not eat what has died by another's hand."

One dark, dark night
When the moon was bright
Two dead boys
Got up to fight.
Back to back
They faced each other,
Drew their swords
And shot each other!
A deaf policeman
Heard the noise,
And came and shot
The two dead boys!

Missouriboy,
That's almost as I heard it. However, I heard the beginning as : "One dark night when the sun was shining bright".
There's another one I wish I could remember that started with "A barefoot boy with shoes on stood sitting in the grass---". I always enjoyed those non-sensical jingles. I wonder if anyone ever wrote a book of them? I've always wanted to get a book of sayings explaining their origin like "Drunk as a skunk". How many have actually seen a drunk skunk? "Crazy as a bedbug". I remember getting bit by them as a kid, but if they were crazy or sane is anyone's guess. "Sick as a dog" makes it sound as though dogs are always sick. There are many more just as weird.
Another thing I've wondered about: Why are certain stories called "Old wives tales"? Are "old wives" the ones who started them?

It was common to use the term "SA" like this,
"She has lots of SA".
SA means "sex appeal".

Here's a few verses from a song that was featured on "Oh Brother, where art thou?":
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain
The cops have wooden legs
The bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmer's trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the sleet don't fall
And the winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Chorus:
Oh the buzzin' of the bees
In the cigarette trees
Near the soda water fountain
At the lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
On the Big Rock Candy Mountain
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain,
The jails are made of tin.
You can slip right out again,
As soon as they put you in.
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws nor picks,
I'm bound to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountain.
Chorus:
Oh the buzzin' of the bees
In the cigarette trees
Near the soda water fountain
At the lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
On the Big Rock Candy Mountain
Hey Moboy is this the poem you were thinking of? There are many variations of the verses. I'll try to find more for you. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
The British Columbia Folklore Society
"One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night"
"Two Dead Boys", folk rhyme
In the first issue of the British Columbia Folklore Society's newsletter we ran the following article in a slightly altered form:
One fine day in the middle of the night...
David Fleetwood, who was born in British Columbia in 1929 and who worked as a cat-skinner in logging camps for most of his life, remembered his grandfather reciting this poem but said his own recollection of it was not complete. After checking out various sources, including the Opies [the authors Iona and Peter] and the Web, it appears that there are a number of versions of the poem current, essentially made up of part one, particularly the first two lines, and any of the subsequent parts (or parts of the parts):
Part 1.
One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys* got up to fight [*or men]
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
Part 2a.
One was blind and the other couldn't see
So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
[or: And two lame men came to carry them away]
Part 2b.
A paralysed donkey passing by
Kicked the blind man in the eye
Knocked him through a nine inch wall
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all
Part 2c.
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And came to arrest the two dead boys
If you don't believe this story?s true,
Ask the blind man he saw it too!
Another version.
"I come before you, to stand behind you,
To tell you something I know nothing about.
Admission is free, so pay at the door;
Pull up a chair and sit on the floor:
Early this morning, late last night,
Two dead men rose up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot one 'nother.
A stone-deaf sheriff heard the noise,
And came and killed those two dead boys.
The mute psychotic shrieked in fright,
With words of joy at this ghastly sight.
Now if you doubt this lie is true?
Ask the blind man; he saw it, too."

Here's another one:
The Dying Fisherman's Song
'Twas midnight on the ocean,
Not a streetcar was in sight,
The sun was shining brightly
For it had rained all that night.
'Twas a summer's day in winter
The rain was snowing fast,
As a barefoot girl with shoes on,
Stood sitting on the grass.
'Twas evening and the rising sun
Was setting in the west;
And all the fishes in the trees
Were cuddled in their nests.
The rain was pouring down,
The sun was shining bright,
And everything that you could see
Was hidden out of sight.
The organ peeled potatoes,
Lard was rendered by the choir;
When the sexton rang the dishrag
Someone set the church on fire.
"Holy smokes!" the preacher shouted,
As he madly tore his hair.
Now his head resembles heaven,
For there is no parting there.
-- Author Unknown

"The rain was pouring down,
The sun was shining bright."
I've seen that happen here lots of times. One time I looked out the front door of the house and, and it was raining heavily. I looked out the back door; the sun was shining bright, and it was dry. I've also seen the sun shine brightly through a pouring rain. We often have the moon and sun out at the same time.

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette, with a satisfied smile on it's face.
The egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over, and says "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question."
Or is this the answer? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Something to keep in mind for your next hospital visit..........
American Medical Association researchers have made a remarkable discovery.
It seems that some patients needing blood transfusions may benefit from
receiving chicken blood rather than human blood.
It tends to make the men cocky and the women lay better.

Here's a song I learned from a friend:
At the boarding house where I lived,
Things were getting green with mold
The landlord's hair was in the butter,
Silver threads among the gold.
When the dog died, we had sausage
When the cat died, catnip tea,
When the landlord died, I left there,
Spare ribs were too much for me.
tune: Silver Threads Among The Gold
I think I'll get a vegetable plate the next time I dine there!
Yes Trailscout...go vegetarian!

Do y'all know the song, "Old Dan Tucker"?
Old Dan Tucker's a fine old man,
Washed his face in a frying pan,
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel,
Died of toothache in his heel.
Old Dan Tucker he come to town,
Riding on a billygoat, leading a hound,
Hound dog bark and the billygoat jump,
Throwed Dan Tucker on top of a stump.
Old Dan Tucker, he got drunk,
Fell in the fire and he kicked up a chunk,
Red hot coal got in his shoe,
Oh my Lawdy how the ashes flew.
Chorus:
Get out th' way, old Dan Tucker
Get out th' way, old Dan Tucker
Get out th' way, old Dan Tucker
You're too late to stay for supper.
Supper's over, breakfast's cookin'
Old Dan Tucker's just standin' lookin'.

HW,
The chef's secret for wild game is to marinate it in brine, wine or beer before you cook the critter. Don't use any wine or beer for cooking that you are not willing to drink. In these hard economic times drinking the beer marinade may become a necessity. But don't drink brine. It's not much of a thirst quencher.
Another secret of good cooking is that tough tasteless meat can be rendered tolerable if you cook it long enough to become tender, then pour a tasty gravy over it to give it some flavor.
Remember any fur bearing animal can be eaten safely. (Wash rabbits carefully after you skin them).
All snakes and other reptiles are safe to eat (once they're dead). Same is true for birds. Eggs are a safe source of food if the egg is fresh and the farmer you are stealing from is still in bed asleep.
Fish are a great source of meat, just be sure to cook them, especially freshwater fish. Sushi making is for highly trained people. Don't try it at home.
Frogs and toads may be poisonous, so be careful to skin them. Frog legs are fairly safe to eat as long as you skin them. Tastes like chicken.
Grasshoppers and locusts are good to eat roasted and so are ants, but it takes quite a few to make a meal. (Cover ants with chocolate for a nice dessert).
Yellow jacket grubs are a time-honored Cherokee delicacy, but it's hell broke loose when you first dig up their nest!
I know there's a few critters that I have overlooked, but this will get you started toward being a wilderness chef.
Thanks for all the great tips Trailscout. You said, <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Remember any fur bearing animal can be eaten safely. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Does this apply to Pole-cats as well? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Do they taste like fish? /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

HW,
Pole cats are survival food. There's a lot of things that aren't too tasty, but will keep body and soul together. Pray that times never get so hard that you have to eat one of them varmints.
Don't be afraid to cook with beer. The cooking distills off the alcohol and you won't act the fool at the party or wake up with a hangover.
Well some folks act the fool before they take their first nip off the bottle, but I can guarantee you I ain't never seen a stupid man get smarter from drinking spirits.

It's time for the worm song!
The Worm Song
Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
Guess I'll go eat worms
Big fat juicy worms, long skinny slimy worms
Gosh how they wriggle and squirm!
Bite their heads off, and suck their juice out,
throw their skins away
Nobody knows how man can thrive
On worms three times a day.
One of many such songs taught by the YMCA in other years.

Can the Dead be billed in heaven? CitiBank thinks so.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Aunt died this past January. Citi Bank billed her for February and March for their monthly service charge on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly
charge...the balance had been$0.00... now was somewhere around $60.00)
I placed the following phone call to CitiBank:
Me: "I am calling to tell you that she died in January."
CitiBank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply."
Me: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections..."
CitiBank: "Since it is 2 months past due, it already has been."
Me: "So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?"
CitiBank: "Either report her account to the frauds division, or report her to the credit bureau...maybe both!"
Me: "Do you think G*d will be mad at her?"
CitiBank:"...excuse me .....?"
Me: "Did you just get what I was telling you.... the part about her being dead?"
CitiBank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my
supervisor!"
(Supervisor gets on the phone)
Me: ''I'm calling to tell you, she died in January."
CitiBank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply."
Me: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?"
CitiBank: ".....(stammer)"
CitiBank: "Are you her lawyer?"
Me: "No, I'm her great nephew." (Lawyer info

CitiBank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?"
Me: "Sure." ( Fax number is given )

CitiBank: "Our system just isn't setup for death..."

Me: "Well... if you figure it out, great! If not,
you could just keep billing her...I suppose..... I don't really think she will care...."

h.w. that citi bank deal reminds me of a phone charge i got once. it was like 20.00 or so for two minutes to a place i never heard of.
i called company to ask about,was told it was a
sex line. /infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif told them i don't need a sex line get all i can handle as it is.
told me someone else may have called.
no one home during time of call.
told them i see naked people all the time, get plenty of sex, and have good social life.
still took almost two years of calls to clear this up. good luck.
and h.w. a few posts back you said something about spanking my monkey? well i did that but the thing screamed and clawed and bit. but boy did it have a red butt!! did i tell you its a baboon? /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif .
I had a collect call charged to my phone once from a pay phone in Texas. I don't know anyone there. There was no one at home when the call was supposedly accepted. Fortunately, I had no problem getting it removed from my bill.

COCKY PRIZE WINNER
Best Rooster
Zebediah was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers, called pullets, and eight or ten roosters, whose job was to fertilize the eggs.
Zeb kept records, and any rooster that didn't perform well went into the soup pot and was replaced. That took an awful lot of Zeb's time; so, Zeb got a set of tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.
Each bell had a different tone so that Zeb could tell, from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report simply by listening to the bells.
Zeb's favorite rooster was old Brewster. A very fine specimen he was, too. But on this particular morning, Zeb noticed that Brewster's bell had not rung at all!!
Zeb went to investigate.
The other roosters were chasing pullets, bells a-ringing! The pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. BUT, to Zeb's amazement, Brewster had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.
He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.
Zeb was so proud of Brewster that he entered him in the county fair.
Brewster was an overnight sensation.
The judges not only awarded him the NO BELL PIECE PRIZE but also the

HW as I get older I try to find humor in it, I hope this helps and you never get to this stage.
OLDER MOMENTS
SENIOR DRIVING
As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone
rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him,
"Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on
Interstate 77. Please be careful!" "Hell," said Herman, "It's not just one car. It's
hundreds of them!"
I CAN HEAR JUST FINE!
Three retirees, each with a hearing loss, were playing golf one
fine March
day. One remarked to the other, "Windy, isn't it?" "No," the
second man replied, "it's Thursday." And the third man chimed in, "So am I.
Let's have a beer."
SENIOR MOMENTS II
Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the
years they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their
activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day they were playing cards when one looked at the other and
said, "Now don't get mad at me.....I know we've been friends for a long
time....but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought,
but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is." Her friend
glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to
know?
DRIVING
Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could
barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an
intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The
woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, "I must be losing it. I
could have sworn we just went through a red light". After a few more
minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat
was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she
was losing it. She was getting nervous and decided to pay very close
attention to the road and the next intersection. At the next
intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you
know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have
killed us both!" Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh, am I driving?"
NURSING HOME
One evening a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a
nursing home
and leaves her, hoping she will be well cared for. The next
morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a
chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden. She seems OK, but after
a while she slowly starts to lean over sideways in her chair. Two
attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up. Again she
seems OK, but after a while she starts to tilt to the other side. The
nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright. This goes on all
morning. Later the family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to
her new home. "So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?"
they ask. "It's pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let you fart."
DOWN AT THE RETIREMENT CENTER
80-year old Bessie bursts into the rec room at the retirement
home. She holds her clenched fist in the air and announces, "Anyone who can
guess what's in my hand can have sex with me tonight!!" An elderly
gentleman in the rear shouts out, "An elephant?" Bessie thinks a minute and
says, "Close enough."
SENILE (Pat, Donna, & Jeanie)
Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96 live in a house together. One
night the 96 year old draws a bath. She puts one foot in and pauses. She
yells down the stairs, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?" The 94-year-old
yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up and see." She starts up the
stairs and pauses. Then, she yells, "Was I going up the stairs or down?"
The 92 year old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea, listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that
forgetful." She knocks on wood for good measure. She then yells, "I'll come up
and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."
DOWN AT THE NURSING HOME
A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing
home. As she walked, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say
"Supersex.
She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair. Flipping her gown
at him, she said, "Supersex." He sat silently for a moment or two and
finally answered, "I'll take the soup."
Your friend,
Randy

FEMALE PRAYER:
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong,
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
When he says he'll call, he won't wait weeks.
I pray that he is gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind,
Knows what to answer to "How big is my behind?"
I pray that this man will love me to no end,
And never attempt to hit on my friend.
Amen.
MALE PRAYER:
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs who owns a liquor store. Amen.
A woman's prayer:
Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods.
Because Lord, if I pray for Strength,
I'll beat him to death. /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I once had a deaf mute nymphomaniac girlfriend. She didn't have big boobs or own a liquor store, but she about wore me out for good.
It was hard to tell her that I had to go to work in a couple of hours with the lights out. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
This is a nice story. It will really pull at your heart strings.
It's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed
between a little girl and some construction workers that
makes you believe that there is still hope for the younger
generation...
A young family moved into a house next door to a vacant
lot. One day a construction crew turned up to start building
a house on the empty lot. The young family's 5-year-old
daughter naturally took an interest in all the activity going
on next door and spent much of each day observing the
workers. Eventually the construction crew, all of them
more or less gems-in-the-rough, adopted her as a kind
of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with
them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave
her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important.
At the end of the first week they even presented her with a
pay envelope containing a couple of dollars. The little girl
took this home to her mother who said all the appropriate
words of admiration and suggested that they take the two
dollar "pay" she had received to the bank the next day to
start a savings account.
When they got to the bank the teller was equally impressed
and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own
pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly
replied, "I worked last week with the crew building the
house next door to us."
"My goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be
working on the house again this week, too?"
The little girl replied, "I will if those a**holes at Home
Depot ever deliver the f***ing sheet rock ..." /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

A little boy comes down to breakfast. Since they live on a
farm, his mother asks if he had done his chores. "Not yet,"
said the little boy. His mother tells him no breakfast until
he does his chores.
Well, he's a little pissed off, so he goes to feed the
chickens, and he kicks a chicken. He goes to feed the cows,
and he kicks a cow. He goes to feed the pigs, and he kicks a
pig.
He goes back in for breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl
of dry cereal.
"How come I don't get any eggs and bacon? Why don't I have
any milk in my cereal?" he asks.
"Well," his mother says, "I saw you kick a chicken, so you
don't get any eggs for a week. I saw you kick the pig, so you
don't get any bacon for a week either. I saw you kick the cow,
so for a week you aren't getting any milk."
Just then, his father comes down for breakfast and kicks the
cat half way across the kitchen. The little boy looks up at
his mother with a smile, and says, "You going to tell him or
should I?" /infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Oh! HW, naughty, naughty, but still funny anyway!
AN AMAZING CONCLUSION: Size Really Does Matter
1. The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL.
2. The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING.
3. The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL.
4. The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.
5. The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS.
6. The sport of choice for corporate officers is GOLF.
AMAZING CONCLUSION:
The higher you are in the corporate structure, the smaller your balls become. /infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Well, HW, now we know how to tell how successful men are. It may not tell us the exact job they have, but it will tell us how high up the job is! Gee, I wonder what that says about the President?
