   > Doc: Buy a new car.   
   > Guy: I drive a nice Mercedes.   
   > Doc: Go on vacation.   
   > Guy: I just got back from the Bahamas.   
   > Doc: Build a new house.   
   > Guy: I live in a million dollar mansion.   
   > Doc: So, why are you depressed??   
   > Guy: I only make $100 a week.   
      
   Ok, he needs a reality slap upside the head!   
      
   I've gone through many years of my life living on less than that & had no   
   car,  no house, & no vacations!   
      
   It's not the big problem it used to be.   
      
   >> "Potty Training for Fidonet Participants"?   
   > They need that in the FLAME echoes.   
      
   Nah, "Flame" echos are for that -- so I have no beef with them & actually    
   respecvt them for taking it to wherre it's welcome & on topic. Better there    
   than in my echoes, or in here. . . Unless you're speaking of regular echoes    
   that improperly become flame echoes when not defined as such? Then, yes, a   
   good instruction manual (STEP ONE: place head into the giant toilet bowl, STEP   
   TWO:  pull chain)   
      
   >> "Great minds think alike"  (or is it "small ones seldom differ?")   
      
   > Q: How do you drown a bunch of blondes in a submarine?   
   > A: Knock on the door.   
      
   Blondes do get a hard time. I only tease the Suicide blondes(dyed by her own    
   hand) because they actually believe bleaching their hair changes them in to    
   more likeable people)   
      
   "Blondes have more fun." -- yreah, only because they're easier to find in the    
   dark!   
      
   > ... Is French kissing in France just called kissing?   
      
   They actually used to call it English Kissing! But now just kissing. . .   
      
   I think here we no longer need to sauy french kissing, as that's the default    
   for those in a relationship -- you'd only find a "grandmotherly peck" to be    
   notable in talking about it (I don't think people should talk about it - no    
   kiss & tell, people)   
      
   I've never said, "Let's French Kiss, baby!" Maybe rtefer to it as "necking"    
   whjich implies a more passionate kissing session, that may include tongue play    
   & nibbles on the neck, if she likes that (most did)   
      
   But, yeah, mostly, couples just talk of kissing & kiss appropriately for for    
   themn, for the situation.   
      
   I wonder what the Aussies call Australian Kissing? Or if they kiss any other    
   way?    
      
   They refer to necking as pas.  In the UK, theru speak of snogging for a good    
   old fashioned necking season; canoodling is separately negotiated at the time    
   of the snog session.   
      
   One one sitcom or other (Maybe Roseanne or the sequel); an older sib advised    
   the  tyounger to steal 3rd instead of going from 1st base to 2nd as usual.    
   Oh, right, got it -- it was on That 70s Show, wth one of the basement crew   
   advising Eric.   
      
   Now that we're done with having kids, either 2nd & 3rd base is usually the   
   home run for me! ("ground ruled homer," perhaps?); I get full points for   
   winning the game & so does sje -- can't get that at the World Series!   
      
   I still want to know how many Americans would've canceled their sports   
   program  if ever rthe East & West were both won by Canadian teams (Montreal   
   Expos when  we had thewm in the East & Toronto Bnluejays in the west--who you   
   know play a  good game-- we took the pennat two years in a row('92 & '93)   
      
   You'd hear clicks all over the nation as the tv when off & people muttering,    
   "Huh! I never liked baseball anyway."   
      
   See, we don't mind when you win the Stanley Cup in hockey, as they're all    
   Canadian players anyway! ;)   
      
   &, I understand it, our football league is superior to the NFL for spectators.   
      
   Need some hockey style fights to pump up the ratings, though, I'd say. . .   
      
   Orrrr, hmmm. . .get a giant-ass lake & play football on it in skates!   
      
   I wish I had the money to set this up - it'd be a sure money maker for   
   decades  to come! & only we have big lakes remote enough not to  be affected   
   by the heat from port cities.   
      
   Your billionaire investors who like sports would have to invest to be   
   minority  partners in our teans, as you'd not really have any teams (maybe one   
   or two in  Alaska; & maybe one in northern Minnesota)   
      
   Hmmm. . then basketball on ice! *LOL*
