Therese,<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>

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>
