George,


 >   You asked for it. <G>

 GP> Fair dinkum, mate.

  I've got your fair dinkum right here. <G>

 GP> No idea where that expression began  -- I'd say don't take a wooden
 GP> cent or dime, too,. for that matter! Wooden dollars are okay, as paper
 GP> money comes from. . wood! (mostly linen(flax), actually)

  And, notice that doesn't apply to any other coinage??

 GP> or "scold" as the bullies are being schooled?

  I'm sometimes wonder if the panhandlers are being schooled on how to
beg at the traffic lights. I've seen them go off the corner, get into
a fancy car (i.e. a Lexus), and drive off. I've heard of them pulling
a gun on drivers, and they throw food on the ground. What they want is
money for drugs and alcoholic beverages, if not sex with the hookers.

 GP> 1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, floor.

  How many rounds of Jose Cuervo?? -- as the song goes.

 >   At least he didn't have the panties on as well. <G>

 GP> How do you know? & why are all these women leaving their underbritches
 GP> behind, anyway?! If I'm undressed somewhere (e.g. pool), I certainly
 GP> get redressed the same as I usually do -- with all compnents I started
 GP> the day with, in their usual place. I've never arrived home after a day
 GP> at the pool or beach, looking for my missing underwear!

  For me and my late wife, it was like the country song "I've got all the
love a man could want, waiting for me at home". Now, if a member of the
opposite sex gave us a hug or a kiss, we'd razz the crap out of each
other. <G>

 GP> I'm guessing he was explaining why je wanted to take his wife on a
 GP> vacation to Iceland?

  Walter said they visited the volcanoes, and his wife kept saying to
him "Stop trying to push me in!!". <G>

 GP> I pacifically axed you not to use that pun, I'm sure. . .

  I've slept since then.

 GP> If you lend somebody $20 & then never see them again, it was worth it.

  I'm so broke I can't pay attention.

 GP> My love for my wife is like the national debt.
 GP> It's enormous. It seems likes it's been around forever. It is growing
 GP> every day. It's something that will be passed onto our children and
 GP> grandchildren.

  But, this is more beneficial. :)

 GP> My friend gets in debt and offers to work it off by redoing peoples'
 GP> kitchens but I wouldn't accept his counter offer.
 GP> (I never accept money from a counter fitter.)

  It was a phony job, anyway. 

 GP> Someone recently told me being $30,000 dollars in credit card debt was
 GP> a bad thing.
 GP> If it is such a bad thing, why does my bank statement say "outstanding
 GP> balance" below it?

  Exactly. 

Daryl
