TGIF - humor -- MIDRANGE-NONTECH

Got this from Sales Rep at BP, 3X Corp.

Hope it doesn't offend (didn't me), because politicians from both sides of
the aisle can sound pretty ridiculous.  Even when not taken out of context.

Only thing that REALLY bothered me is that I evidently not only understand,
but follow, the philosophies of Miss Alabama, and Yogi Berra...!  And I
must-a played on Jason Kidd's team, in a former life...;-D

Whew...!


Safe and fun holidays to Y'all...:-)




Back Tuesday, if not before or after.. if at all...;-D
