Hello Mark:
You owe me a new keyboard.
I laughed rootbeer through my nose
as I read your message below. It
still hurts (the nose, not the keyboard).
As I think further, several of the political
messages across my TV have resembled
your example...now you owe my a new TV
...just shot mine.
thanks--mel ;-)
