    It's been so long since I've been in grade school that I've forgotten the rebuttal for this insult. Was it, "Go fornicate yourself?" No, that's not it. Was it, "Consume genitalia?" No... Oh, that's right! It was "NO, YOU ARE!" ps God Bless You

    Charlie, if you're reading this....people are afraid of you because if you get your way, you're going to put a lot of people out of jobs. You are a genius. I'm your fan, through and through.
