continue abusing exhuberantly, it's an effective antidote to an under achieving stock picker's misery.

at the risk of losing lurker status I venture to add a recycled comment on communication between the sexes.

there's a farmer and his wife. she is hard of hearing, so they often communicate with hand signals in the field.

the farmer, needing a pair of pliers, steps out of his tractor, and looks towards his wife, 100 yards away. he holds out his arms, and he crosses them like a pliers, then raises one arm as if pointing to a shelf, and finally holds both arms apart like a building, he mouths the words to himself as he gestures: "i need a pair of pliers. there's one on the shelf in the barn."

he repeats the hand motions while his wife dutifully watches. she stands silent for a moment and then signals back:

she grabs her breasts, one with each hand, then covers her crotch with both hands, and finally swings her right hand from her right hip backward past her leg and away from her body in a sweeping motion.
and then points at him.

she repeats the gesture as the farmer stares with a puzzled look. finally he gives up and walks up to her and asks her what she was trying to say.

she goes through the gestures once again and says: "there's a pair in the box behind the seat. you go get them."
