Saul,  Why don't you argue like a MAN.  You don't have any right to threaten
talking about other peoples' parents.  That is very disrespectful.  And you
need to apologize for your threats.

List Managers????? Y'all ain't doing a damn thing about Saul's threats????
I wonder WHY???  Anyway, here's one to ease things a bit (I hope!)


Language Problem

A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They seat themselves and engage in
animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignores their
conversation at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of
the men say the following: "Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come
together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come
again and pee twice. Den I come one lasta time." "You foul-mouthed swine,"
retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't talk about our sex
lives in public!" "Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talking abouta
sexa? Imma justa tellun my frienda how to spella "Mississippi"!
