Barry, I too got a chuckle out of your response. Not the happy kind of chuckle, but the gotta-laugh-at-the-absurdity-and-hypocrisy kind of chuckle. At least that is my perception after the few communications you and I have had and from reading some of your responses here on FFL. Of course, I realize you care zilch about my perceptions.
Our perceptions are what they are. Hopefully we as human folk are open to consider that our perceptions may be wrong; they are most always limited. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, doctordumbass@... <no_reply@...> wrote: > > Great satire, Bee!!
