And with interest. He'll want your hat, too, and your galoshes for
being late.

Not on the money, eh?

Accounts have personalities?

Blowups happen.

Does he?

That doesn't count.

Ever try to take a bite out of a coffee cup? Works better with donuts,
like the one I just had. Chocolate, sugar glazed, of course.
And a bottomologist is a banker who's account is in arrears?

Unless he jumps in the ring and wears boxers. We should all help him
fight to write better because we are athletic supporters, right?

This, I know from experience, is quite true. And this is why I'm
posting this reply. ;-)
Well, actually, we are always watching everyone else. Could be why I
have a sore neck.

This too is true, but you knew. :-(

And days in a daze, and weak weeks, and years of tears.
Been there, done that. Ah, sniff...
I was checking out which music to download and decided to post this
reply, which I think our readers might possibly have figured out
somewhat.
No, I'm not staying, so I'm returning now to my much less hectic, and
significantly reduced keyboard poking, retirement. :-)
Take care all,
