That's it, exactly. > Like trying to hang > on to a teflon coated pig. Ain't going to happen. Tom T But they keep trying, don't they. Sometimes reading the machinations of those on this forum who are desperately trying to cling to self is like watching the greased-pig contest at a county fair. Part of you wonders why anyone would ever *do* that sorta thing, but at the same time another part cannot help but find it hilarious and laugh at it. And then the laughing makes the contestants in the greased pig contest feel even more...uh...oinxious and uptight and threatened, and their uptightness over such a silly thing that makes the whole greased pig contest even *more* hilarious, so you laugh at it even more. It's tough to break out of the cycle of laughter/uptight- ness/laughter unless one or more of the laughees actually makes a breakthrough and starts to laugh along *with* the laughers... ------------------------ Yahoo!
