    DD> That sounds like a song lyric. I'm not sure if you're having the Ray

     Yeah, it's the one from Hee Haw.    
      
    DD> Can you still see well enough to shoot? That'll put a stop to that.   
      
     I don't have a firearm...the last time I handled a gun was 45 years   
   ago, in taking a Hunters Safety Course.   
      
     The phone was supposed to be here Saturday...it didn't arrive in   
   Little Rock until today. But, the way they do mail with the Post Office   
   Box, I can't pick it up until tomorrow...which is just as well...it's   
   raining outside now, and the streets are wet...never mind folks think   
   they can stop just as fast on a wet, snowy, or icy pavement, as they   
   can on dry.   
      
    DD> Doncha have a phone line for the confuser? Or, if you're on cable (as I   
    DD> am until I can shine $cumCa$t on by hooking into the fibre network)   
    DD> most of them offer home phone service. Or, if youse have got Ma Bell -   
    DD> dig out your old 9600 baud U.S. Robotics modem and your PC Board   
    DD> software and soldier on.   
      
     I've supposedly got a line with Xfinity, but I can't get a dial tone. I   
   don't have AT&T...they did my Mom dirty with DSL years ago...and apparently,   
   it's not the first time this has happened.   
      
    DD> Not if you're on a "pee pill". (Voice of experience)   
      
     Been there, done that. It's more like "mountain spring water clear" when   
   you're on a diuretic. I have the potential to become type 2 diabetic, but   
   my next blood work isn't set for July. When I was hospitalized 3 years ago   
   to remove some bladder stones, they gave me Lasix, and several pitchers   
   of ice water. I thought I was going to pee my pecker off every 5 minutes.   
   I told the nurses "better bring at least a half dozen portable urinals".   
   I was filling them up in 30 minutes time.   
      
    DD> I don't have birthdays any more - Just anniversaries of my "Jack Benny"   
    DD> The next one will be the 41st anniversary.  Bv)=  My work is planning   
    DD> a surprise party - but, since I know about it I'm planning to call-off   
    DD> that day.  Bv)=   
      
     Jack Benny?? As much of a frugal cheapskate as he was??  We use to have    
   to worry about "birthday spankings"...now, if it was a good looking female,   
   the way I'm going, I might be amenable to that. Remember, dirty old Sysops   
   need love, too.    
      
    DD> They said "Cheer up, things could be worse!" So, I cheered up and sure   
    DD> as hell - things got worse!   
      
     Exactly.   
      
    DD> "A cheapskate won't tip a waitress. I'm just careful with my money."    
      
     Here are 3 tips to give when they ask for one:   
      
   1) Plant your corn early.   
   2) Keep your powder dry.   
   3) Always have clean underwear on.    
      
     The latter is the most important.
