IMHO, Richard is, and always has been a straight shooter. If he says it, he means it. It is always possible that he had intended to put a smiley on it, but this time, I doubt it. -- Jim in NC |

You Know You're Old Dept.
I first realized that I was getting old when I was flirting with one
attractive receptionist at a clients office and he ask how old I was. Now she was in her early twenties and had just turned 40. I told her my age and her eyes got real wide and she exclaimed: "Wow, you are the same age as my daddy"!
