The FBI has its uses... The phone rings at FBI headquarters. "Hello?" "Hello, is this FBI?" "Yes. What do you want?" "I'm calling to report my neighbor Will Continue as an enemy of the State. She is hiding undeclared diamonds in her firewood." "This will be noted." Next day, the FBI goons come over to Will's house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept, break every piece of wood, find no diamonds, swear at Will Continue and leave. The phone rings at Will's house. "Hello, Will! Did the FBI come?" "Yes." "Did they chop your firewood?" "Yes, they did." "Okay, now it's your turn to call. I need my vegetable patch plowed."

LOL! And by the way, every 10 days in the summer my neighbor laces the top 2 inches of his lawn with microscopic encryption devices.

I wonder if Mommy Squire and Chuckie will let this humorous little thread slide and not follow their own guidlines for posting.

"a", could you please do me a favor? I need some translating of what Hoff is trying to say over at the "Y2K Debate Round 2" thread. Could you please go over there and help me out? Thank you

Hmmm.

My septic gank needs pumping...

Good one, a.

@yousuck.com--Your going to die from cancer because you don't know how to laugh and have a good time. I thought the thread was hilarious. Stop and smell the roses every once in a while, it will do you good.

Son, you used the term our guidelines in your post. In case you missded it, you might want to go back and actually read the original post, and see if you get the point. I did. I seem to see that the poster has a take, and has expressed it quite well. Not ALL contributions need to be "dry-as-dust" scholarly recitations of fact. This contributes nicely.

Have a nice day.

The Returned Mad Deleter (yes, I'm back from the weekend of chasing cycle riders, and unfortunately we caught a couple and actually had to work. I had 3 transported. Another team successfully worked a full arrest, who is now receiving a pacemaker at the Cleveland Clinic).

LOL.

I have always wanted to build a screen house, off my back porch. I now am praying that I find the time to finally do it, before year's end, just in case there's no power for my AC, next summer, and I have to sleep outside. Any suggestions.

I've considered telling them I would be willing to use it an observation post, to watch out for undesirables in the neighborhood, so they might at least heavily subsidize it's construction. The hitch there is, I have zero visibility of my neighboors, and they of me, from the back yard. Do you think it might work, if I ask them for periscopes tall enough, to look over the trees and shrubs?

Actually Chuck, I said "own guidlines".

And you don't have to explain anything to me 'Dad', your true self is all too clear.

Just for the record:

I was going to say that I needed my septic tank cleaned, but someone beat me to it.

However, I *do* need to have my pond de-weeded and dredged...
