Maybe September 1965, maybe September 65th, maybe 65-9=56, > or 65+9=74. Do these mean something to you, jester? Yes, I wrote September 1956. The month you were born and the year you were born. Your question: "Where on earth did you get 65?" is a specific question you made. You single out one number, 65...because you had a "particularly" special reason for asking. If a woman is trying to hide her age... and one says to her...65.. she will probably get her panties in a knot and exclaim "WHERE ARE EARTH DID YOU GET 65?" What is what you did. You lost contol. You're having a bad day. take it easy..you're eating too much falafels. > > -- > Odd Bodkin -- maker of fine toys, tools, tables -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
