It's not surprising to see the nutcases coming over and ranting, as this thread has consistently been on the Hot List since it started. Take a look, you took the lead now. Certify it quick, before they start with the protests, recounts, blah, blah, blah p.s. I am not a liberal nor a conservative. I am a member of the human race, and my brief stay here has been far more pleasurable than in any of the rw threads that I have lurked. I may differ with some of the views of the majority (mainly tax related), but here, I can safely say that saying: "I can sit down with you and negotiate value for value in good faith" is a viable possibility. Something the rw'ers are not capable of doing by the inflexibility of their vows. (among other things). As for jokes:Wakari-Masin" "A golfer was on a business trip to Japan, so he thought he would relax a little bit while he was there, and take advantage of one of the local geisha's "services." So he got himself a geisha girl, got likkered up on sake and got down to business." "The geisha was very responsive and vocal, thrashing around on the pallet and shouting "Wakari-masin, wakari-masin", which pleased the golfer no small amount and he felt very studly." "The next day, after a strenuous session of negotiations, his hosts took him to play golf, where somewhat tired and hungover, he did not play his best. But on one hole, he managed to hit the green and the ball rolled into the cup, which pleased the golfer no small amount and he felt very studly. The Japanese golfers around him all shouted "Wakari-masin, wakari-masin". " "Hey, he said, what does this 'wakari-masin' mean?" "Please excuse," said one of the golfers. "It means 'wrong hole'."
