Sorry, that was assumed.

People do try to avoid drooling on each other, right? That's so embarrassing.

Maybe it's time for Ronco's Dribble Catcher 3000.

I think with the sense of humor you've demonstrated here, Mark, you'll be most welcome. Just don't mind Gary. He's got that mensa sensa huma.

Har!

The other thing that results is that this feeling comes over you: "Gee, I've never played a model ______ [fill in the blank] and NOW I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!!!! Is this one for sale?????"!

Thanks. I think I could go toe to toe with Gary if my IQ was just 1 or 2 hundred points higher. I do my best work in the mid- to low- brow regions.

You'd think a guy with sooo much forehead as me would have something behind it, but alas, it is an empty attic and I have to go with the cards I have.

I agree Gary, you go from:

Wow that looks real nice, I wonder how it plays, to:

Wow this plays really nice, it'd be nice to have one of these in (insert Fireglo model here)

To: I absolutely must have one of these, I winder if I can sell a kidney !!

Well, I'm not sure if I can make it now, although there is a slim chance that I can. We recently found out that one of my daughters will be having major surgery in July. On top of that, my wife injured her knee and will need it scoped. If that wasn't enough, I've got to have my knee scoped as well. Yow!!! I wonder if they will give us a deal??

Sorry to hear that John.

Anyway, it'll only be a bunch of guys talking about guitars and drinking far too much beer.........and cracking bad jokes..........and playing stupid drinking games!........Sorry - this isn't helping - is it?

Joking apart, I hope it all goes well for you and yours. All the best.

Ask for the Rickenbacker Discount at the hospital Image

Seriously, that's a bad break John, and I sincerely hope you guys come out OK with the surgeries!

John, I'm sorry to hear about all the health problems of your family members. Although everyone will miss you at the confluence if you don't make, the important thing now is for the Williams' clan to get healthy. Best wishes on a quick recovery for all.
