Larry,
I stand corrected if those are the published facts> My source was Mel Brooks (the 2,000 year man, and star of Blading Saddles) I should have gone back to him to verify and gotten a second source.
As to Bill gates smiling, a lot of people smile for strange reasons i.e a nervous tick:::or perhaps Oracle went down another two points that day.
I have no particular grief against Bill Gates and hope he eventually gives away more money than Warren Buffett. I would love to see a contest like that.
There are more acts them giving awy money that makes a man's character. Years ago Buffett invited two people for lunch in the golf club that he rarely attended. They were turned away because they were of the Jewish Faith. Buffett, immediately resigned and joined the Jewish country club in Omaha:::on top of everything else; he said the food was better.
I hope I did not take up to much time on this fine thread.
I resolve never to quote a comedian again with out double checking, since we have enough of them in Washington D.C.
And to keep this within the spirit of this thread, I will close:
GO PRESTEK!!!!!!
PS:::probably put my foot in my mouth again::::Hope you are not a BEAR, Larry::::::nysebob2
