Therese,<br>
<br>
So do I. But the price of beer would be hidden in the chest hair, which
all the sweeties would have to paw thru to find out what the prices were.
And, with a body badly decommissioned by Filipino FallApart, the bar would be
going out of business and taking bets on when I would fall down. I can
see it now---everyone shouting "Fall Paul, Fall Paul, Fall Paul" and
stuffing $100 bills in my sagging g-string. What an image!! (Can
you laugh at that?)<br>
<br>
Therese, I will just say that you are way, way, way too defensive on this
subject and likely have some Shadow material you haven't dealt with as yet.
(Free psych consultation, probably worth that, too.) One of the real
troubles of our society these days is the rampant PC in every nook and cranny
so that a man who says "My budget is niggardly" is hounded out of
office in DC; a five year old boy who points his finger and says "bang,
bang" is thrown out of school; and etc., etc. Stupidity is rampant
in our public discourse. We have lost our sense of humor and common sense
and that which passes for humor is mostly sick. Of course, you see that
limerick as sick, offensive, and etc., so maybe we just say "Yes, No, or
Maybe"?? (got it??)<br>
<br>
Be well, be less angry, and enjoy your life's carrier more (that's PC for
body---in case you miss it).<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Paul</span></font><font face=Arial FAMILY=SANSSERIF><span style='font-family:
