Though embarrassing, it's just too good a story to keep to myself. So, if you are squeamish, you may want to hit the 'next' button. I went up to the health club this evening, and was talking to my Dad. We were discussing the markets, when in walked a rather large man. Most people who use the sauna are basically butt naked, but he was wearing a sheet, much like a greek senator. Every once in a while a 'unique' individual passes through, and I gave it no mind. My Dad asked me how I felt about what will happen when the markets opened, and I shared in rather crude fashion that I kinda felt like my 'personal appendage' was on the chopping block, and I didn't know whether or not there was a butcher around. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that the stranger had a quick little grin show in the corner of his mouth, and realized he was listening, so I changed topics. Quickly, the topic changed to the latest events. At one point, I relayed to my dad the story relayed here by Aggie about the Russians castrating family members of the hostage takers to get their people back.Message 16338498 Again, through the corner of my eye, I saw the stranger smile strangely. Then, about five minutes later, as he got up to leave, I noticed he was very carefully adjusting the sheet he had on as he got up and left in a modest fashion to hide his privates. Then, about ten minutes later, when I saw him get out of the whirlpool, I realized that, uh, well let's just say he had to pee sitting down. Man, did I feel like a jerk! I mean what were the odds??????? Cosmo
