"But why?" >Iliketasmackhimone! Mostly, I don't feel like taking the time to >explain to him why, that's why! Shoot me. Which reminds me of an old story: guy's watching his wife prepare a ham for dinner and asks her why she cut off the ends of the ham. "Because my mother did it this way." Later at his MIL's house, he asks her why she cuts the ends off the ham. "Because my mother did it that way." He finally gets a chance to ask the question of Grandma, "Why do you cut the ends off your ham?" "Because it's the only way it will fit in the pan I have." Okay, so I've told it before... Terry "Squeaks" Pulliam Burd -- "If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner." - Duncan Hines To reply, replace "meatloaf" with "cox" |
