Tut tut, blake, don't be spoiling the fun...like when my speech teacher did
in HS when she had to separate me from some of the girls in the back of the
class because I'd make funny faces and stuff make them laff too much...

[The speech teacher was 22, just outta college, she was blonde and pretty
and being 1971 she wore these REALLY short mini-skirts...that kept the boys
"occupied" so's I had to "entertain" the gals...I actually did Phyllis
Diller impressions for them...I guess at that early age I heard my calling
as a female impersonator...]

;-p
