I resent the implication, Philip.

Having a bad hair day Brad? You can point out at anytime that I'm large sucker for Mac technologies. I'll be forced to agree.

Well, most everyone I know uses that phrase with an intensely negative connotation. If you meant it with as much jocularity as it seems based on your reply, then I'm sorry for getting my dander up. It doesn't help that I'm in the middle of a fairly rushed engraving project right now.

Brad,

Normally, when I get back from grocery shopping, I tear or scratch off those 'instant winner' coupons. Total winnings so far are something like 60 air miles. Wow.

Yesterday, I was sifting thru some papers on my desk and out pops one of those instant winner bingo cards from last year. Curiously untouched. Must have got lost in the shuffle somehow. I casually scratch off the goop and then my jaw drops: Every one was a match and I could have collected $10,000! Guess what four letter expletive I was muttering when I double-checked the expiry date.

Having a jolly good day myself,

Philip




Just for laughs, send some posts to a gmail account with Arabic translation of "suitcase nuke delivery to Fort Meade confirmed for Sep 11" with a 50 Meg blowfish encrypted attachment of garbage bytes.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't find that particularly funny.

Ring... ring...ring...:

Bush: Hi, who's that?
OBL:  It's me Osama. I've got some good news and some bad news for you
Bushy.
Bush: What's that?
OBL:  First the good news: I'm giving up.
Bush: And the bad?
OBL:  I'll be flying in...

As that's obviously a joke because there is almost no possibility of it ever happening, I find it funny.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming... <g>
