Geezus Clapperino...

you are incredibly perceptive.

thank you.

Yer welcome.

But I can't really take all that much credit.
Especially because I can't tell if your reply was supposed to have a road sign that
says "<sarcasm>" or one that says "<ng>" or one that says "<g>" or one that says
"<fork in the road>" or "<STOP>" or one that says "<merge>" ...

or one that says, "<No Left Turn>"... (That one is used a lot at the Right Wing Extremist thread...)

or one that says, ""<No Right On Red>" (popular on the Left Wing Porch...)

or one that says "<Exit Closed>"... (That's a popular one over at the SI thread called "The Constipated Investors Forum"...)

<rimshot!>

Anyhow, I'm not really all that perceptive...

Another thing that confuses me is your time stamp on the post I'm replying to.
It says <5:18AM>.

I can't figure out why you get up so early on a Sunday...
Don't you ever sleep in?

And the sign said "Long haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said, "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do."
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that, huh, me working for you."

Oh, sign, sign everywhere a sign
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign

And the sign said "Anybody caught trespassing will be shot on sight"
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
"Hey, what gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep Mother Nature in
If God was here he'd tell you to your face,
Man you're some kind of sinner."

Hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no, you can't eat,
You ain't supposed to be here

The sign said you've got to have a membership card to get inside
And the said "Everybody welcome, come in and kneal down to pray"
But when the passed around a plate at the end of it all,
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
It said "Thank you, Lord, for thinking about me, I'm alive and doing fine."
