A customer at Green's Gourmet Grocery marveled at the proprietor's
quick wit and intelligence. "Tell me, Green, what makes you so smart?"

"I wouldn't share my secret with just anyone," Green replies, lowering
his voice so the other shoppers won't hear. "But since you're a good
and faithful customer, I'll let you in on it. Fish heads. You eat
enough of them, you'll be positively brilliant."

"You sell them here?" the customer asks.

"Only $5 each," says Green.

The customer buys three. A week later, he's back in the store
complaining that the fish heads were disgusting and he isn't any
smarter.

"You didn't eat enough," says Green. The customer goes home with 20
more fish heads. Two weeks later, he's back and this time he's really
angry.

"Hey, Green," he says, "You're selling me fish heads for $5 apiece
when I can buy the whole fish for $3. You're ripping me off!"

"You see?" says Green. "You're smarter already."

Hide the women and lock up the booze. (or maybe it's the other way
around?)
Anyway...... The last 6 months have been hectic and life still is.
But I'm still alive and kickin' and Ana has been after me to stick my
head in here and say 'Hi' to everybody so..... Hi everybody.

I really don't have any time to set around and bullshit the way I'd
like to right now. In fact, I really should be writing code at this
moment (or replying to Anas last couple of e-mails ).

Anyway...... I'll get back in here one of these days "Real Soon Now"
and start getting caught up on whatever all has been happening. I
guess if BC and Larex haven't killed each other, Scott hasn't drank
himself to death, and everybody else is in their normal, bitchy moods,
that things are going pretty much as normal.

So far in the last 5 weeks I've ripped out pretty near 5,000 lines of
code. Hell, I may end up in the Guiness Book for turning out the
largest amount of code in the shortest time (before going crazy )

I'll drop by sometime when I have a -lot- more time to spend, read a
few posts, and make a few snide, snotty, smart-ass replies (like old
times).

Since you are all one kind of a mother or another I guess this applies
to all of you.
