That one comes from the Master himself: Groucho Marx.
Thanks. I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me.

My personal favorite Marxism: Groucho is looking at his watch while taking someone's pulse and says, "Either he's dead or my watch has stopped."
If you're going to get into quoting Groucho, better start a new thread for it. It'll probably be longer than the 'Thread Killer' thread. :biggrin:

Yah. Careful with this one. If you use a password as a PINumber, then next time you come across a pinpad where there are no letters on it, you're SOOL.

It has happened and I was indeed SOOL (which would make a good PIN, by the way). For my ATM PIN I now type the numbers while thinking the acronym. :rolleyes:

Yes, I am quite the complicater of life's simplicities, but I see it as taking the scenic route thru life, the long way home. :smile:

It's never too early to make a bad impression. I went from lost-and-bewildered-innocent-young-thing to major-pain-in-the-ass in a couple of weeks... :devil:



Okay, I'm still bewildered... but that's beside the point.

You flatter me.:redface: Perhaps it's a matter of definition. I figured that I was only a minor pain in the ass at first.
