    George, don't they PAY you to NOT show up now?

    I still can't wrap my brain around THAT arrangement.

    That Russ is exactly correct, I get paid NOT to show up. It could be my personality that has these checks rolling in. Now try and wrap around this ......
    In addition to paying me NOT to show up, THEY GIVE ME EVEN MORE MONEY IF I DO! I love this country!

    Well, I'm not buying a fast car or an 18 year old blonde.
    I did go out and get the parts to set up my music server.
    Guess I'm on a downward spiral now!

    The hair on my head is thinning. The hair on my ears gets thicker every day.

    There was this guy I knew about 7 years ago that had the nose hair
    from hell. One day, he finally shows up with it all neatly trimmed.
    Another guy walks up and says "You look different. Did you shave your
    moustache?" He says, no I never had a moustache. "Really? I could of sworn
    you had a moustache last time I saw you." A bunch of us were trying
    real hard not to crack up. I try hard NOT to let my problem get that bad.
    Ears, nose, damn eyelashes, everwhere but the top of my head. Nature
    is cruel.:mad:

    You don't have to have THAT problem for Viagra. I found it works great for pounding nails and hanging wet towels.

    In 6 months or so Peter, when I'm no longer a member of the Air Guard, I'm growing the best Zappa you ever saw.

    For what it's worth (and to Theresa's dismay), you can't do Viagra and blood pressure meds together.
